Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: providing tooling comprising: an external die comprising an external bottom die plate for forming the bottom of a body for a mobile device and an external top die plate for forming the top of the body, an internal bottom die comprising a first top side and a first bottom side opposite the first top side, the first top side sloped at an angle relative to the first bottom side and including a first notch, an internal top die comprising: wherein the internal top die and the internal bottom die meet at an interface between the first top side and the second bottom side and define a distance between the first notch and the second notch, and wherein the angle and the distance are such that when the internal bottom die is withdrawn from the body after molding, the internal top die drops a distance equal to or greater than the depth when the first notch engages the second notch; assembling the internal top die and internal bottom die with the external bottom die plate; placing the component in the indentation, the component comprising a first material; assembling the external top die plate on the internal top die to form an internal die assembly; forming the body by injecting a second material around the internal die assembly wherein the formed body is co-molded with the component and the component extends inwardly in the body by a distance from an interior surface of the body, the formed body including a side opposing the component and an opening, the side opposing the component covering the component from the opposing side, and the opening in the body between the component and the side opposing the component to receive and to house internal components for the mobile device between the component and the side opposing the component; withdrawing the internal bottom die and thereby withdrawing the internal top die through the opening.
