Abstract
A wireless telephone (,) has a video monitor (,) which is thin enough for a touch-screen (,) to slide partially beneath it, with enough room for a touch-screen-cover (,) to slide between them. The touch-screen-cover, when not slid between the touch-screen and the monitor, covers the part of the touch-screen which the monitor does not cover. When the touch-screen-cover is slid between the touch-screen and the monitor, it exposes the parts of the touch-screen which are not covered by the monitor, and it allows the touch-screen to be slid completely out from underneath the monitor, thereby exposing all of the touch-screen. Thus, the touch-screen may be completely covered, partially covered, or completely uncovered. Each covering configuration is suited for a different set of wireless telephone capabilities.
