Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing and a connector port cover. The housing is provided with a connector port accessible via an access hole, and an anchor hole disposed proximate to one end of the access hole. The connector port cover is operable for covering and uncovering the connector port, and includes a deformable and water-impervious sealer layer, a rigid pressing layer, and a fastener. The sealer layer has an anchor extension connected to the housing at the anchor hole. The anchor extension is stretchable along the length thereof, and pulls the sealer layer toward said connector port. The pressing layer is connected integrally to the sealer layer. The fastener is operable between tightened and loosened states for retaining releasably the connector port cover at a covering position.
