1. An electronic device housing comprising:
- a display screen cover lens having an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces between the upper surface and the lower surface such that the upper, lower and side surfaces integrally form the display screen cover lens;
a fingerprint sensor;
a recess, configured to receive the fingerprint sensor therein and integrally formed within a first exterior surface of the display screen cover lens, wherein a sensing portion of the fingerprint sensor is positioned within the recess at a location within 500 microns of a second exterior surface of the display screen cover lens;
a display screen positioned beneath the lower surface of the display screen cover lens; and
a plurality of touchscreen sensors beneath the lower surface of the display screen cover lens.
