A mobile computing device comprising:

• an external enclosure configured to be held in one or more hands of a user;
• one or more computing components secured by and disposed within the external enclosure;
• a display device secured to the external enclosure such that the display device is viewable by a user, the display device supporting touchscreen functionality;
• and
• a compliant support disposed between the one or more computing components and the display device, the compliant support configured to reduce deflection of the display device by deformation of the compliant support, the deflection caused in response to contact against a surface of the display device.

An apparatus comprising:

• a display device tray;
• a display device secured to the display tray such that the display device is viewable by a user when secured to an external enclosure of a computing device, the display device supporting touchscreen functionality;
• and
• a compliant support disposed between the display device tray and the display device, the compliant support configured to reduce deflection of the display device by compression of the compliant support, the deflection caused in response to contact received to interact with the touchscreen functionality of the display device.
