ABSTRACT:
A pen-based portable computer, or pen-tablet computer, for use with a vehicular docking station that allows for the exchange or replacement of components thereof without the need for returning the computer to the manufacturer, is provided with exterior, removable grips that not only provide a gripping function, but also provide shock-absorption and protection exteriorly of the computer-housing. Each grip may be selectively removed from attachment to the computer-housing, in order to allow access to the interior of the housing for repair and maintenance. Four such removable grips are provided, where each grip is provided with an actuable lever for removably locking the grip to a portion of the computer housing, with each actuable lever being capable of movement away from such locking engagement in order to allow removal thereof from the housing.
