Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic device having a housing, which has a housing wall with openings for control elements and/or display elements. An external wall element, which at least partially covers the housing wall, is detachably connected to the housing. The external wall element has openings which are aligned with the openings in the housing wall. As a result, by using different external wall elements the external appearance of the electronic device can be easily modified.
