Abstract
A device housing with latching mechanism includes a base, a cover and a latching mechanism. The cover includes a first edge and an opposite second edge. The first edge is rotatably connected to the base, and the second edge is connected to the cover by the latching mechanism. The cover defines an opening. The latching mechanism includes a support secured to the base, a button, and a resilient member arranged between the support and the button. The button includes a button body with a side surface and at least one flexible arm protruding from the side surface. Each at least one flexible arm forms a protrusion thereon. The button body extends through the opening and abuts against edges of the opening to connect the cover to the base.
