As promised, we're giving you the powers to make your own custom-sized Sketchcase at no extra cost. And as you probably already know, with great power comes great responsibilities. It is your responsibility to order correct size but don't worry. It's really simple.
Please note that custom sizes for single quantities are only available until December 1, 2017.
Getting the width and height
IMPORTANT: We recommend adding 0.5cm - 2cm margins, depending on the curvature of the laptop (Adding margins means making it smaller than the actual dimensions).
You have two options to get the dimensions:
- Measure the width and height of the laptop lid using a ruler.
- Search for the manufacture specifications online.
In this guide, we'll search for the manufacture specifications. Find the model number on the bottom of your laptop and search for the dimensions on Google
(eg. apple macbook pro 15 retina 2013 dimensions).
We're going need the width and height (or depth in this case) in cm (Not inches).
width: 35.89cm
height: 24.71cm
Next, add margins to the dimensions. We'll use 1cm for this example. You simply subtract 1cm from the dimensions above.
width: 34.89cm
height: 23.71cm
Getting the Corner Radius
We marked this section as optional because most of our early customers were happy with 1.24cm corner radius. You may not get the full coverage but a lot of people actually liked the unique look. If you're wondering where the 1.24cm came from, it's the corner radius of MacBooks.
If you like this design, just go with 1.24cm. If not, we also made a tutorial on how to measure the corner radius.
What you'll need:
- Your laptop
- Ruler
- Pen
- Piece of paper
- Something flat and rigid (cardboard, book, etc)
Step 1. Trace a corner of the laptop lid on to a piece of paper
Step 2. Extend the flat lines on both sides.
Step 3. Measure from the start of the curve to the intersection. Please use cm and not inches.
