A better phone-case sourcing brief

Start with exact compatibility, then work through the material direction, finish and functionality you want to evaluate.

BUYING CONSIDERATION / 01

Name the exact device

List manufacturer, model and generation. Similar product names can hide different dimensions, camera arrangements and button positions.

BUYING CONSIDERATION / 02

Separate style from performance

A substantial profile is a visual direction, not proof of drop protection. Define any performance requirements and request supporting evidence.

BUYING CONSIDERATION / 03

Confirm functional details

Ask about ports, buttons, camera clearance and any charging requirements. Review fit and access using the actual intended device and product sample.

BUYING CONSIDERATION / 04

Plan the assortment

Map colours and finishes to device models and target quantities. Confirm packaging labels so each variant is easy to identify at retail.

TAKE THIS INTO YOUR BRIEF

Three useful questions.

  1. Which exact device models and generations are required?
  2. Which style choices and performance requirements are separate?
  3. How will fit, function and variant labelling be verified?

This guide supports enquiry planning. Product-specific, safety and market requirements must be checked against the actual goods and applicable requirements.
