1Match a bank card

The card works like a ruler: nothing on it is read or saved, and a driving licence works too. Only its height counts, so the drawing may run off the edge of a phone. Hold the card flat on the screen, long side across, with its top edge on the drawing's top line. Then move the slider until the drawing's bottom line meets the card's bottom edge.

Optional. Only needed to lay a ring or strip on the screen; typed measurements work without it. Nothing on the card is read or saved.
