A portable communication device (100) includes a first escutcheon (108) and a second escutcheon (110), both of which are removable by a user to alter or customize the cosmetic appearance of the portable communication device according to the user's preference.

The second escutcheon (110) includes an outer perimeter (204) which nestingly engages an inner perimeter (202) of a recessed portion (200) of the keypad cover. A boss (216) on the second escutcheon (110) engages an aperture (218) defined by the keypad cover (106) to retain the second escutcheon (110) on the keypad cover (106).
