Abstract
An electronic device storage apparatus with an enhanced self-locking mechanism in communication with a slidable cover is provided. The apparatus includes an electronic assembly having a connector coupled to a circuit board, an enclosure disposed around the circuit board such that the connector protrudes outside the enclosure, the enclosure having a pair of collapsible brackets mounted to the enclosure and designed to pivotably adjust to an open position away from the circuit board or a closed position against the circuit board, and a protective sheath slidably mounted to a portion of the enclosure and having an end opening. The collapsible brackets in the closed position slidably adjust relative to the protective sheath to a first locking position to extend the electronic assembly's connector through the end opening of the protective sheath for an exposure or a second locking position to retract the electronic assembly's connector within the protective sheath.
