The two-dimensional core material may be used as a design. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-17. (canceled) ### Claim 18 A method for fabricating a casing part of a portable electronic device, comprising: providing a reinforcing core material into a first mold; setting a second mold on a first surface of the core material, said second mold having a first hole for injecting a resin; injecting a resin from the first hole to construct a first resin surface layer covering the first surface of the core material; changing the first mold to a third mold and setting the third mold on a second surface of the core material which is different surface of the first surface, the third mold having a second hole for injecting a resin; and injecting a resin from the second hole to construct a second resin surface layer covering the second surface of the core material, the second resin surface layer being constructed integrally with the first resin surface layer on at least a part of the second resin surface layer. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein at least one of said second mold and said third mold has at least a cavity to form a protruded resin structure integrally with the first resin surface layer or the second resin surface layer. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein said reinforcing core material is one of a fiber material and a fiber material impregnated with a resin, the fiber material comprising one of a woven fabric and a knitted fabric. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The method of claim 20, wherein said fiber material is selected from the group consisting of carbon fibers, glass fibers and aramid fibers. ### Claim 22 (depends on 20) The method of claim 20, wherein said fiber material is selected from the group consisting of synthetic fibers and natural fibers. ### Claim 23 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein said fiber material comprises metal fibers. ### Claim 24 (depends on 20) The method of claim 20, wherein said fiber material is a fiber material impregnated with a thermoplastic resin. ### Claim 25 (depends on 24) The method of claim 24, wherein said thermoplastic resin is an acrylic resin, polyamide resin, polyester resin, polypropylene resin, ABS resin, polycarbonate resin, polypropylene-ethylene resin or a modification or blend of these resins. ### Claim 26 (depends on 24) The method of claim 24, wherein at least one of said first and second resin surface layers and said fiber material-impregnating resin are composed of the same material. ### Claim 27 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein at least one part of at least one of said first and second resin surface layers is a transparent resin layer. ### Claim 28 (depends on 27) The method of claim 27, further comprising the step of: providing said reinforcing core material with a design including at least one of a picture, a drawing, characters, and a pattern. ### Claim 29 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein said casing part comprise the entire casing for the portable electronic device. ### Claim 30 (depends on 27) The method of claim 27, wherein said core material is a film, sheet, or net made of paper, plastic, metal, fiber product or a laminate thereof. ### Claim 31 (depends on 30) The method of claim 30, wherein said core material is provided with a design comprising at least one of a picture, a drawing, characters, and a pattern. ### Claim 32 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein said second resin surface layer is integrated with said first resin surface layer such that the core material is fully covered. ### Claim 33 (depends on 22) The method of claim 22, wherein the synthetic fibers comprise at least one of nylon and polyester. ### Claim 34 (depends on 22) The method of claim 22, wherein the natural fibers comprise at least one of hemp and cotton.
