Abstract
A mobile electronic appliance comprises a substantially box-shaped first casing having a display section housed therein and a substantially box-shaped second casing having an electronic unit housed therein. The first casing is folded such that the folded first casing is disposed to cover the upper surface of the second casing. The electronic appliance is carried under the state that the display section is closed. Swollen portions each having a void space included therein are formed in the four corner portions of the second casing. The swollen portions expanded outward are formed contiguous to side portions with sloped portions interposed therebetween. The distance between the swollen portion and the side portion is determined not to be smaller than the braking distance that is determined from a prescribed dropping height.
