A method of manufacturing a shell element (13) for an electronic device, said shell element (13) having a front part(5) and at least one part that is angled in relation to said front part (5). The shell element (13) further comprises a formed sheet (6) that constitutes at least a part of the outer surface of said front part (5) and at least a part of said at least one part that is angled in relation to the front of the shell element (13). The method comprises the steps of first forming a sheet (1) to a desired shape including a part that is angled in relation to a front part (5) and then injection molding a plastics material on the back of the formed sheet (6). At least one opening (7) is provided in the angled part of the formed sheet (6) before the plastics material is injection molded on the back of the formed sheet (6) and the at least one opening (7) is left open during the injection molding of the plastics material on the back of the formed sheet (6). A shell element manufactured by this method is also disclosed.
A method of manufacturing a shell element for an electronic device, said shell element having a front part and at least one flange that extends from the front part and that is angled in relation to said front part, said shell element further comprising a formed sheet that constitutes at least a part of the outer surface of said front part and at least a part of said at least one flange, said method comprising:
