Abstract:
1. A hand-portable electronic apparatus comprising: a first body part comprising one or more interfaces; a second body part rotatably connected to the first body part, the second body part comprising a camera assembly having an imaging axis and an imaging window; and a slidable cover, the first and second body parts being rotatable with respect to each other about a rotation axis, the apparatus being configured such that the slidable cover is able to slide between: i) a first unlocked position, in which the first and second body parts are unlocked and are thereby able to rotate about the rotation axis relative to one another, wherein the slidable cover is disposed only within the first body part when in the first unlocked position; and ii) a second locked position, in which the first and second body parts are locked by engagement of the slidable cover therebetween, relative rotation of the first and second body parts being thereby prevented, and in which the slidable cover substantially covers the imaging window; and wherein the apparatus is configured such that the slidable cover covers the one or more interfaces when in the first unlocked position and reveals the one or more interfaces when in the second locked position.
