ABSTRACT:
A housing assembly (10) for use in a portable electronic device, includes base (14) and a decorative element (12). The base (14) has a securing portion (144) protruding therefrom; The decorative element (12) has a securing groove (126) corresponding to the securing portion (144) and the cross-sectional area of the securing groove (126) being smaller than the cross-sectional area of the securing portion (144); When the decorative element (12) is pressed toward the base (14), the decorative element (12) may be elastically deformed due to the pressing force, and the cross-sectional area of the securing groove (126) is enlarged so the securing portion (144) can be pushed in the securing groove (126); and when the pressing force is removed, the securing groove (126) begins trying to shrink to its original state so that the securing portion (144) is press-fit within the securing groove (126) to mount the decorative element (12) on the base (14).
