Abstract
A housing for a portable electronic device includes a bottom shell and a plurality of protection blocks. The bottom shell has a plurality of corner portions, each corner portion includes an engaging recession recessed from an outer surface of the corner portion. The plurality of protection blocks are respectively assembled within the corresponding engaging recessions of the bottom shell, which provide protection in the form of having a double skin. Each protection block together with one corresponding engaging recession of the corner portion of the bottom shell cooperatively defines a buffering area. The protection blocks have an elastic coefficient great than that of the bottom shell and are located on each corner portion, at the point of the greatest vulnerability to impact damage.
