Electronic devices with clips

A portable electronic device, comprising:

• a housing;
• storage and processing circuitry mounted in the housing;
• an input device that includes a touch sensor mounted to a front face of the housing;
• a clip;
• and
• hinge structures that connect the clip to a rear surface of the housing, that include a linkage member with multiple pivot points, and that bias the clip towards a closed position, the linkage member including at least a first bar pivotally connected to the clip and the housing and a second bar pivotally connected to the clip and the housing, the second bar longer than the first bar;
• wherein
• the first and second bars angularly pivot the clip with respect to the housing when the clip is pivoted between the closed position and the open position;
• and
• the clip lies flush with the rear surface of the housing in the closed position.

• a clip;
• a hinge with which the clip is attached to the housing that includes a linkage member with multiple pivot points wherein the linkage member includes at least:
• a first bar pivotally connected to the clip and the housing;
• and
• a second bar pivotally connected to the clip and the housing, the second bar longer than the first bar;
• and
• a torsion spring in the hinge that biases the clip towards the closed position;
• wherein the clip lies flush with a surface of the housing in the closed position;
• and
