Abstract: A disclosed electronic device may include a battery and a battery enclosure member securing the battery. The battery enclosure member may have a polymer base layer and a metal coating covering at least a portion of a surface of the polymer base layer. A method for manufacturing a battery enclosure member may include 1) providing a polymer base layer dimensioned to abut a battery in an electronic device, 2) etching a surface of a polymer base layer, and 3) depositing a metal coating over at least a portion of the surface of the polymer base layer. Various other methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: Housings for electronic devices may include a steel body, such as a stainless steel body, that has an outer portion and an inner portion. The outer portion may exhibit an average Vickers hardness of 200 HV or higher. The inner portion may exhibit an average Vickers hardness of 180 HV or lower. The lower hardness of the inner portion may facilitate working the material of the inner portion, such as to form attachment points, protrusions, holes, or other features. Various additional devices, methods, and systems are also disclosed.
