Step by step

Build a useful case specification

Follow these steps before comparing final case configurations or requesting a quote.

1. Choose the capacity

Count devices per case, including spares. Compare the capacities listed for available models.

2. Measure the packed device

Use the cover and attached parts that remain in place. Check all three dimensions rather than thickness alone.

3. Plan accessories and charging

List cables, chargers, keyboards, and styluses. Unless the product specifically includes charging, plan to charge outside the transport case.

4. Check the daily workflow

Consider shelf height, rolling distance, lift points, and how devices will be handed out without mixing accessories.

FAQs

Planning questions

For orders, shipping, and return policies, visit the Help Center.

Should I remove the cover to measure?

Measure with the cover if it will stay on in the case. If you plan to remove it, account for the cover’s separate storage.

Which tablet capacities are available?

The supplied category finder lists 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, and 18 tablet slots. Check current product listings for available configurations and exact cavity sizes.

Does the case charge tablets?

Only if charging is explicitly included in the product specification. Transport slots and charger storage do not establish charging capability.
