Abstract: Laminate components for electronic devices are disclosed. The electronic device may include a housing having a laminate structure. The laminate structure may include a first layer defining a front surface of the housing, a second layer defining a rear surface of the housing, and at least one intermediate layer positioned between the first layer and the second layer. The layers of the laminate may be configured to allow another component to be embedded in the housing, to provide an attachment feature, or to provide a reinforcing feature.
