Abstract: This application relates to systems, methods, and apparatuses for reducing bending stresses and tension from damaging components of a computing device. A component of the computing device can be connected to a spacer that can distribute impact forces and resist bending when an impact force is applied to the computing device. Additionally, a bracket can be connected to a circuit board of the computing device to further help distribute impact forces and resist bending. The bracket can be ring shaped and surround components connected to the circuit board to intercept impact forces from contacting the components.
