The 4:3 to 16:9 is a range, it’s not that it only takes care of those two cases. If you use a 4:3 card and have 16:9 content, on a 16:10 device, you’ll see most of the 16:9 content.
There are cases where a device might exceed 16:9. For example, a 16:9 device that is showing some sort of temporary bar along the top. In such a case you might end up with a small amount of border on the far left and right of your content. Not something I would worry about too much! About letter boxing as a solution, that’s probably ok in the Android world, but if for example you solve your iOS needs by letting a 4:3 card have borders on a 16:9 device, Apple would reject the app. > On Jan 24, 2016, at 11:40 PM, J.
