Abstract
An injection-molded housing for a handheld portable electronic device employs a minimal number of parts. The housing, made of a thermoplastic elastomer, is watertight, buoyant and exceptionally rugged. Principal components of the housing snap together without the need for adhesive bonding or fasteners using a tongue-and-groove closure mechanism.
