Abstract:
Input elements, handles, enclosures and alignment of such elements and handles within an electronic device. The elements, such as buttons or input devices, and handles discussed herein may be configured, assembled and/or installed within and/or on an electronic device to ensure proper alignment and positioning within the housing of the electronic device. By properly aligning and positioning the elements and handles within or on the housing of the electronic device, the elements and handles may provide accurate input to the electronic device and may be visually appealing to a user. Additionally, a two-piece enclosure including a hook and cutout portion may secure and/or protect the internal components of the electronic device, while also providing a visually “seamless” connection between the two-pieces for forming the enclosure of the electronic device.
