Selecting the right type of display case for you collectable can get confusing. Two things to keep in mind are the final result and purpose.  Acrylic doll cases are used to protect dolls from dust, and are an inexpensive way to display your favorite doll.  They are made of thin acrylic (like plastic) and usually come with a hard plastic base.  Many doll designers use these to protect their designs until sold or while shown in doll conventions.  I use several in my hobbie room, to display my Denim Days figurines, Indian dolls with feathers, and anything else to is detailed and hard to dust. 

Cases can be ordered cut to any height you need.  The base and height are the determining factor, when deciding what to display. 

When deciding how wide of a case you need, always use the 2 inch rule.  Measure the total width of your display item.  Now add 2 inches.  It will give your display item 1 inch on either side, when being placed inside the case. This prevents that "cramped" look, and makes a nicer viewing display piece.

When deciding how tall you need your case to be, again, use the 2 inch rule.  Measure the total height of your display object, and add 2 inches.  When ordering, cases are listed on my site by INSIDE area. These are already sized, so pick a little taller then the size you need.  We can then cut it down to what you want.

And as always, if you still aren't sure, email me. I love working with customers, to get that "just right" look!
