Housing Encasing A Wireless Device Having A Display Compartment

Abstract

A housing encasing a wireless device has at least one opening bordering a display compartment. A pliable retaining lip borders the perimeter of the display compartment and is configured to conform to a portion of an outer perimeter of a removable plate. A portion of the pliable retaining lip is configured to be deformed to enable installation of the removable plate into the display compartment. The display compartment has a compartment recess configured to retain the outer perimeter of a removable plate, whereby, a portion of the removable plate is visible to a user. A transparent barrier element is connected to a surface of the housing and is configured to cover the display compartment. The outer perimeter of the display compartment has a dedicated finger recess for removal of the removable plate.
