Bootstrap-Media-Query-Breakpoints

Article and discussion here

I love Twitter's Bootstrap. I find that when developing with it, either Bootstrap 2 (2.3.2) or Bootstrap 3, that I always need to apply custom styles at the different sizes. Especially when going beyond Bootstrap's standard functionality. After all, it's just a front-end framework.

Below you'll find nicely formatted Media Queries for starting with either of the Bootstrap versions. You can use this as a starting point for your projects. It's basically what I use when creating a new website or webapp. I've also provided links to Github for quick access.

Bootstrap 3 Media Query Breakpoints

Bootstrap 3 is a mobile-first front-end framework. I've included the correct order for the Media Queries below, but I've also included at the bottom of them the non-mobile first breakpoints in case some people aren't used to the mobile-first methodology since technically both will work.

/*==================================================

==================================================*/




	/*==========  Mobile First Method  ==========*/

	/* Custom, iPhone Retina */ 
	@media only screen and (min-width : 320px) {
		
	}

	/* Extra Small Devices, Phones */ 
	@media only screen and (min-width : 480px) {

	}

	/* Small Devices, Tablets */
	@media only screen and (min-width : 768px) {

	}

	/* Medium Devices, Desktops */
	@media only screen and (min-width : 992px) {

	}

	/* Large Devices, Wide Screens */
	@media only screen and (min-width : 1200px) {

	}



	/*==========  Non-Mobile First Method  ==========*/

	/* Large Devices, Wide Screens */
	@media only screen and (max-width : 1200px) {

	}

	/* Medium Devices, Desktops */
	@media only screen and (max-width : 992px) {

	}

	/* Small Devices, Tablets */
	@media only screen and (max-width : 768px) {

	}

	/* Extra Small Devices, Phones */ 
	@media only screen and (max-width : 480px) {

	}

	/* Custom, iPhone Retina */ 
	@media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
		
	}
