A portable terminal with a camera lens provided in a housing of the terminal, the portable terminal comprising: a first guide member installed on the housing of the terminal at a position adjacent to the camera lens; a cover member; one or more guide rods for slidably joining the cover member and the first guide member, whereby the cover member slides on the housing so as to open or close the camera lens; one or more first stoppers formed on the first guide member; second stoppers formed at opposite ends of the cover member, wherein when the cover member completely opens or closes the camera lens, the second stoppers engage the first stoppers, thereby restricting movement of the cover member; and a cover recess formed on an outer surface of a battery pack mounted in a mounting recess on one side of the terminal housing, and a seating recess formed on the cover recess, wherein as the first guide member is mounted in the seating recess, the cover member slides along the cover recess.
