Abstract
A host electronics device has slot for receiving an IC card. An IC protection or dummy card is provided for insertion into the slot. The card is a one-piece, substantially planar molded body. One end of the body receives a portion of the connector of the device in a manner such that a surface of the body exerts a frictional force on the connector. Portions of the body provide reinforcement for the slot.
