Abstract
A housing assembly for a mobile device includes a cover formed from optically transmissive material, and opaque material formed over a portion of the cover. The opaque material is arranged to define a display portion which is optically transmissive. The housing assembly further includes a frame sized to receive the cover, and a first housing structured to couple with the frame, such that the cover, the frame, and the first housing are structured to define an enclosure sized to contain electrical components for the mobile device.
Claims20
A mobile device comprising:
- a cover formed of optically transmissive material;
- opaque material overlapping a portion of the optically transmissive material of the cover, the opaque material being arranged to define a display region which is optically transmissive;
- a frame coupled to the cover, the frame being formed of a different material from the optically transmissive material of the cover;
- a display positioned relative to a first side of the cover at a location that corresponds to the display region;
- and
- an input key being structured to generate a signal in response to an input,
- wherein the cover is shaped to define an opening which is surrounded by a portion of the opaque material,
- wherein the input key is positioned in the opening of the cover, and
- wherein a top surface of the input key is exposed to the outside without being overlapped with the opaque material.
