Abstract
A clam shell style electronic product () includes a base housing portion (), a flip housing portion () pivotably coupled to the base housing portion, a display () mounted in the flip housing portion, and a camera () in the base housing portion that can be selectively angled to a desired position relative to the display. The camera can be in a position substantially perpendicular to the base housing portion when the camera is locked in a stored position. In the stored position, a camera viewing angle () is substantially perpendicular or orthogonal to the base housing portion and not necessarily aligned with a display viewing angle () for the display. The camera can rotate to a position substantially perpendicular to a display viewing angle () when the flip housing portion is in an open position and the camera is in an unstored (or unlatched or released) position.
