Abstract
A portable device having a housing includes a plastic portion, a metal element integrated with the plastic portion. The metal element includes a support portion, a closed sidewall substantially perpendicular to the support portion, four first bent portions, and four connecting portions configured to connect the closed sidewall to each first bent portion. The closed sidewall can extend from an outside periphery of the support portion to a first direction, and the first bent portions can extend to a second direction substantially contrary to the first direction. The connecting portions are embedded inside the plastic portion and substantially perpendicular to the closed sidewall and the first bent portion.
