This pattern is available from etsy.com for £2.75.

The phone cover will take any phone up to 7.5 cms x 15 cms, the approximate measurement of the current iPhone XS.

The e-reader case is shown on a Kindle Paperwhite measuring 12 cms x 17cms but it would easily stretch to fit a device 14 cms x 18cms.

Sadly, they’re not bigger on the inside than on the outside!

Instructions also included for adapting pattern to fit other sized device.

The pattern is worked from written instructions, not from a chart.
