Abstract
A control for operating a portable electronic device includes a bezel surrounding a display for the portable electronic device. The bezel is resiliently supported so that it can rock toward the electronic device. One or more portions of the bezel are then positioned relative to inputs for the electronic device, such that rocking of the bezel activates at least one input.
