A wearable device has a housing containing electronics and a band that retains the wearable device on a user's arm. Each end of the housing has a receptacle with a ridge around the opening of the receptacle. A band comprises a strip of flexible material. A pair of protrusions with enlarged ends made from an elastomeric material extend from an inner surface of the band. A portion of the inner surface of the band between the protrusions is in contact with at least a portion of an upper surface of the housing. The band is joined to the housing by aligning each protrusion with a corresponding receptacle and applying pressure. As a result of the applied pressure part of the protrusion temporarily deforms, enters the receptacle, and resumes substantially the previous shape thus holding the protrusion within the receptacle and the band to the housing.

Wearable device with field replaceable band

An apparatus including a housing and a sleeve that engages and at least partially encloses the housing. The housing may include a top portion having a loudspeaker and an exterior surface and a bottom portion having a loudspeaker and an exterior surface. An audio diffuser may be positioned between the top portion of the housing and the bottom portion of the housing so as to radially disperse sound from the loudspeakers. A light ring on the housing may indicate a functional state of the apparatus. Protrusions on the housing may interact with indentations on the sleeve to position and align the housing within the sleeve. The sleeve may include holes to allow sound to be outputted from the loudspeakers. Magnets and alignment elements may further situate and secure the housing to the sleeve.

Voice controlled assistant

A housing for an electronic device includes a single rear housing assembly coupled to the cover glass of a display assembly. The rear housing assembly includes a metal rear chassis with two layers of injection molded material formed on at least the chassis side regions. The first injection molded layer includes a high reinforcing agent content percentage to provide increased stiffness, and the second injection molded layer includes a low reinforcing agent content percentage, which provides less structural support than the first injection molded layer, but an improved aesthetic appearance.

Embodiments of the subject technology provides novel approaches to providing structural components for mobile computing devices to meet structural and physical form factor requirements for such devices. More specifically, the subject technology describes examples of novel mid-frame structural components, opposing snap features, camera support housing with an integrated lens, and a flexible printed circuit design with a self aligning dome FPC to button configuration.

Support structures for computing devices

A computing device is assembled to withstand drops, to be re-workable, and to reduce unaesthetic variances between the components. A computing device has a display module that is removably hinged on the bottom, held in place by snap fits on the top before being screwed in place, and held in place by replaceable snap fits on the sides. A battery module and a battery connector can be secured in place with stretch removable tape. A peripheral port component may be biased towards an interior of the housing opening when installed. A laser direct structuring antenna module located in a recess of a plastic molding can be grounded to a metal alloy housing. A plastic molding can be mechanically interlocked to a housing.

Computing device assembly

According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a device is provided. The printed circuit board may include an electronic receptacle. Additionally, the printed circuit board may include a housing element housing a portion of the electronic receptacle. As such, the housing element may include a top portion, a bottom portion, and at least one side portion. To this end, the top portion of the housing element may extend above a bottom surface of the printed circuit board, and the bottom portion of the housing element may extend below the bottom surface of the printed circuit board. Moreover, the printed circuit board may include at least one spring connector coupled to the electronic receptacle and the printed circuit board.
