Enclosure for card reader equipped device

Abstract:

An enclosure for an electronic device that includes a connection port aperture located in at least one edge, a rear face, and/or a front face of the enclosure. As will be described herein the connection port aperture may be sized to prevent interference with electronic device accessories, and more particularly card readers, which are operatively coupled to the electronic device through a connection port in the electronic device. As such, the connector port aperture allows for the secure connection between the accessory and the electronic device without the enclosure interfering with the accessory, which reduces the strain and vibration associated with use of the accessory, and in particular, with the use of cards with card reader type accessories.
