Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic device. The disclosure provides textured glass components as well as electronic device cover assemblies and enclosures which include the textured glass components. In some cases, a protruding portion of the glass component includes a textured region provided over a camera assembly of the electronic device. One or more openings may be provided in the texturedregion. The textured region may be configured to provide a translucent or hazy appearance to the electronic device while providing a desirable feel to the electronic device and level of cleanability.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is and claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 857,613, filed June 5, 2019, and entitled "Electronic Device Enclosure Having Textured Glass Component," the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety Incorporated into this article. technical field [0003] The embodiments generally relate to electronic device housings that include textured glass components. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to textured glass components, cover assemblies, and housings for electronic devices. Background technique [0004] Housings for electronic devices have traditionally been formed from a variety of components. Some conventional housings are formed from plastic or metallic materials that can be shaped and textured using conventional molding or machining techniques. However, it may be more difficult to texture or shape housing components formed from bri...
