ABSTRACT:
An electronic device can include a housing and support members. In an embodiment, the housing includes an opening extending through an exterior wall. The opening can include a wider portion that is spaced apart from the opposite ends of the opening. The housing can include a recessed region that lies along a perimeter of the opening. A support member lies within the opening, and a portion of the support member lies within the recessed region. The shapes of the opening and the support member can be such that the support member can be inserted relatively easily into the opening, yet still resist accidental removal of the support members during normal use and handling of the electronic device. In a particular embodiment, the support member can be a single piece of elastomeric material and help to provide acoustical isolation.
