Abstract
A housing assembly for a communication device including front and rear housings and an endoskeleton adapted to be secured to the front housing via recesses locate on the endoskeleton and corresponding ribs located on the front housing. The front and rear housings include a cantilever arm and loop assembly to secure the top ends of the front and rear housings to each other. The rear housing includes a pair of hooks located at its bottom end and the second housing includes a pair of latches located at its bottom end. The hooks each have a contact surface adapted to mate with a corresponding contact surface on each latch. The contact surface on each hook are outwardly sloped and the contact surface on each latch is inwardly and downwardly sloped. The contact surface slopes cause the hooks to deflect inwardly when the latches are snapped into the hooks.
