Pads placed in an interior region of the inner surface of a first enclosure of an electronic device protect a display on the inner surface of a second, hingeably attached enclosure against scratching or scuffing, when the first and second enclosures are closed upon each other and the closed device is subjected to a compressive force. The technique may be applied to a wide variety of electronic devices that have a “clam shell” design.

One exemplary docking station has a surface for receiving a portable computer, with a wall and a latch projecting from the receiving surface. The latch is movable towards and away from the wall, is resiliently biased towards the wall, and has an overhang that can engage a striker plate of a portable computer when the latch is moved towards the wall, so that the overhang restrains the striker plate against movement away from the receiving surface. The overhang can release the striker plate when the latch is moved away from the wall. A release actuator operable by a user engages the latch so that operation of the release actuator causes the latch to move away from the wall.
