Abstract: Wearable electronic devices, such as watches, can be provided with an attachment system for connecting and releasing a removable module that interfaces with some portion of the electronic device. For example, a watch housing includes a main body having a channel for receiving a watchband and a first opening extending to the channel. A rear cover coupled to the main body provides a second opening. A unibody button is positioned between the main body and the rear cover. The button is biased against the rear cover and is moveable toward the channel to release a watchband engaged therein.

Abstract: A touch and force sensitive rocker switch or button array for a portable electronic device can include multiple dome switches or force sensors, as well as a capacitive sensing surface that can detect finger location and swipes. A cosmetic surface can cover the entire elongated switch/button and portions of device housing proximate the button, and can be configured to transfer each of multiple types of input there through to the button and also provide a seal to the device housing interior. The cosmetic surface can be a flexible polymer to allow local deformation, and/or the entire surface can tilt or bend to permit inputs to transfer there through. The elongated button/switch can be raised from a surface of the device, and can be located along a side of the device, with a front face of the device being a touchscreen, such as for a smart phone or watch.

Abstract: This application relates to an insert nut for a housing of a computing device. The insert nut can include a threaded interior surface for receiving a screw, and a ribbed exterior surface for receiving an adhesive between ribs of the ribbed exterior surface. At least one of the ribs can include at least one notch that allows for an adhesive to flow between ribs. When the insert nut is pressed into an adhesive filled cavity, the adhesive can flow over the notch and between the ribs of the insert nut. Thereafter, the adhesive can be cured in order to secure the insert nut to the housing. This arrangement allows for screws to be secured into the insert nut rather than directly into the housing, thereby reducing cracks that can otherwise form in the housing.
