Abstract

An enclosure of a mobile phone with changeable panel includes a front cover (1), a panel (2), a rotatable holder (3), and a spring (4). The front cover defines a through hole (16) and latch slots (171, 172). The panel has projections (241, 242) at an edge thereof, and the projections can be engaged in the latch slots of the front cover. The panel further has a hole (25) corresponding to the through hole of the front cover. The holder has a latch portion (33), and the spring is engaged around the holder. The holder with the spring is received in the hole of the panel, and the holder is further received in the through hole of the front cover. The holder is rotated and the spring is compressed, thereby securely holding the panel on the front cover.
