1. An electronic device comprising:
- an electrical circuit; and
a housing comprising;
a conductive structural member defining at least a portion of an outer periphery of the electronic device, the conductive structural member comprising a group of electrically isolated and rigidly coupled segments, at least one segment comprising a component of the electrical circuit;
a group of support features extending from the structural member, at least one support feature of the group of support features electrically coupling the at least one segment to the electrical circuit; and
an internal platform positioned within an opening defined by the conductive structural member and coupled to each of the support features.

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.
