16. A portable electronic device, comprising:
-
a housing that includes radio-opaque material and that has side walls, wherein at least one of the side walls includes a lateral surface having a spline shaped profile, wherein the lateral surface (i) terminates at a front edge that defines, in part, a front opening and (ii) terminates at a rear edge; an optically clear front panel disposed within the front opening; and a rear panel that includes radio-transparent material is defined by the rear edge, wherein a curvature of the rear panel and the spline shaped profile of the side wall combines to define a curved geometry. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
