Measure Your Cell Phone

Measure how wide your cell phone is. Also measure how thick your cell phone is. Add together the width and the thickness times 2. That is how wide you want your cell phone case to be. For example, My phone was about 2 1/2-inches wide and about 1/2 an inch thick. That means I want my cell phone case has to be 3 1/2-inches wide (2 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2).

Measure how tall your cell phone is. Multiply that by 2 and then add 1-inch to that measurement and that is how long you want to make your cell phone case. My phone is 4 1/2-inches long so I want to cut my cell phone case about 10-inches long (4 1/2 x 2 + 1).

Use a ruler to mark the cutting lines on your duct tape sheet. The piece I cut from the duct tape sheet is approximately 3 1/2" x 10". Cut it out.
