The housing of an electronic device including at least one plate includes a first surface coupled to at least a portion of a plate of the at least one plate and facing a rear surface of the plate, and a member comprising a second surface being substantially perpendicular to the first surface and facing a side surface of the plate, and wherein the first surface comprises a protrusion protruding from the first surface toward the plate by a predetermined height, a first recess formed in from the first surface by a predetermined depth, and a second recess formed in from the first surface deeper than the first recess. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic device comprising: a first plate; a second plate facing an opposite direction of the first plate; and a side member attached to the second plate or integrally formed with the second plate, surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate, and coupled to the first plate, wherein at least one electronic component is accommodated in the space, wherein the side member comprises: a first surface facing a rear surface of the first plate; and a second surface substantially perpendicular to the first surface and facing a side surface of the first plate, wherein a protrusion protrudes toward the rear surface of the first plate from the first surface, wherein a first recess is formed adjacent to the protrusion and is formed in from the first surface by a first depth, and wherein a second recess is formed spaced apart from the protrusion and is formed in from the first surface by a second depth. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein, when viewed from a top of the side member, at least a portion of the second recess overlaps the first recess. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the second recess is disposed in parallel to the protrusion in correspondence to a location at which the protrusion is disposed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein, when viewed from a top of the side member, a length of the second recess is longer than a length of the protrusion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein, when viewed from a top of the side member, one end of the second recess is longer than one end of the protrusion by a first distance, and an opposite end of the second recess is longer than an opposite end of the protrusion by a second distance. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a volume of a space, in which the second recess is disposed, is one of larger than, or same as, a volume of the protrusion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein an adhesive material is applied to at least one of the first surface or the protrusion, and wherein the adhesive material applied to the at least one of the first surface or the protrusion is flown to the first recess and the second recess, and is solidified. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a plurality of second recesses is disposed on the first surface, the plurality of second recesses being spaced apart from each other by a distance. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the plurality of second recesses is disposed in the first recess. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the side member is formed of at least two materials, and is configured through coupling of two or more components. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a depth of the second recess is greater than a height of the protrusion. ### Claim 12 A housing of an electronic device comprising at least one plate, the housing comprising: a member coupled to a rear surface of a plate of the at least one plate, wherein the member comprises: a first surface facing a rear surface of the plate; and a second surface disposed to be substantially perpendicular to the first surface and facing a side surface of the plate, wherein a protrusion protrudes toward the rear surface of the plate from the first surface, wherein a first recess is formed adjacent to the protrusion and is formed in from the first surface by a first depth, and wherein a second recess is formed spaced apart from the protrusion and is formed in from the first surface by a second depth. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The housing of claim 12, wherein, when viewed from a top of the member, at least a portion of the second recess overlaps the first recess. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The housing of claim 12, wherein the second recess is disposed in parallel to the protrusion in correspondence to a location at which the protrusion is disposed. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The housing of claim 12, wherein, when viewed from a top of the member, a length of the second recess is longer than a length of the protrusion. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The housing of claim 12, wherein, when viewed from a top of the member, one end of the second recess is longer than one end of the protrusion by a first distance, and an opposite end of the second recess is longer than an opposite end of the protrusion by a second distance. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The housing of claim 12, wherein a width of the second recess is larger than a width of the protrusion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The housing of claim 12, wherein a depth of the second recess is greater than a height of the protrusion. ### Claim 19 A housing of an electronic device comprising at least one plate, the housing comprising: a first surface coupled to at least a portion of a plate of the at least one plate and facing a rear surface of the plate; and a member comprising a second surface substantially perpendicular to the first surface and facing a side surface of the plate, wherein a protrusion protrudes toward the rear surface of the plate by a height, wherein a first recess is formed adjacent to the protrusion and is formed in from the first surface by a first depth, and wherein a second recess is formed spaced apart from the protrusion and is formed in from the first surface by a second depth that is deeper than the first depth. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The housing of claim 19, wherein an adhesive material is applied to at least one of the first surface or the protrusion, and wherein the adhesive material applied to the at least one of the first surface or the protrusion is flown to the first recess and the second recess and is solidified. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The housing of claim 19, wherein the second recess is disposed in parallel to the protrusion in correspondence to a location at which the protrusion is disposed. ### Claim 22 (depends on 19) The housing of claim 19, wherein a plurality of second recesses is disposed on the first surface, the plurality of second recesses being spaced apart from each other by a distance.
