ABSTRACT:
The described embodiments provide mobile electronic devices and associated methods for securely maintaining a connected relationship between device housings. These embodiments include a first housing having at least one first engagement portion and a second housing having at least one second engagement portion, where the second engagement portion is movable between a disconnected state and a connected state relative to the first engagement portion. Further, the second engagement portion is also movable a predetermined engagement distance. Additionally, a limiting structure is positionable adjacent to at least one of the first housing and the second housing such that the limiting structure prevents the second engagement portion from moving the predetermined engagement distance after achieving the connected state.
