1. An electronic device enclosure, comprising:
- an outer periphery member defining a ring and having a front surface and a back surface;
an internal platform placed at least in part within the outer periphery member and connected to at least two distinct regions of the outer periphery member, the internal platform offset from the front surface and the back surface;
a front cover assembly placed adjacent to the front surface and covering the internal platform; and
a back cover assembly placed adjacent to the back surface and covering the internal platform.

Abstract
This is directed to an electronic device enclosure. The enclosure includes an outer periphery member forming an outer surface of a device, and to which an internal platform is connected. Electronic device components can be assembled to one or both surfaces of the internal platform. The enclosure can include front and back cover assemblies assembled to the opposite surfaces of the outer periphery member to retain electronic device components. One or both of the cover assemblies can include a window through which display circuitry can provide content to a user of the device.

21. An electronic device enclosure, comprising:
-
an outer periphery member comprising an external side surface defining an exposed surface of the electronic device enclosure, a front planar surface, a back planar surface, and an internal surface defining an internal surface of the electronic device enclosure; and an internal platform secured to the internal surface, wherein the internal platform is at least partially positioned between the front planar surface and the back planar surface to define, within a volume enclosed by the outer periphery member, a front pocket between the internal platform and the front planar surface, and a back pocket between the internal platform and the back planar surface. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
