Abstract

A casing for a portable electronic device, comprising at least a first and a second cover member and a frame unit. The first and second cover member may be attached to the frame unit and the second cover member may enclose a part of the frame unit, wherein the casing enclose the portable electronic device and is self supporting when the first and second cover member and the frame unit are assembled.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally to the field of casings or covers for portable electronic devices and, more particularly, to metal casings or covers for mobile terminals.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The first commercially attractive mobile phones or terminals were introduced in the market at the end of the 1980's. Since then, a lot of effort has been made in making smaller terminals, with much help from miniaturization of electronic components. Today, numerous manufacturers offer pocket-sized terminals with a wide variety of capabilities and services.[0003]In order to attract customers the terminal manufactures have therefore taken further measures to strengthen their position in the competition, one such being to offer terminals with attractive covers.[0004]Most mobile phone covers are made of plastic material, since they are easy and cheap to manufacture. In addition, a plastic cover is insufficiently hard and is vulnerable to cracking in collisions. Plastic co...
