     FIELD 
     The described embodiments relate generally to structural components for securing operational components in a portable electronic device. More particularly, the described embodiments relate to support structures for securing the operational components and preventing these operational components from dislodging out of place in the event that the portable electronic device is subject to a load associated with a drop event. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Recent technological advances have increased the capacity for manufacturers to integrate more operational components (e.g., camera, processor, antenna, processors, etc.) within the small cavity of a portable electronic device. However, due to the precision fit by which these operational components are assembled and fit within such a small cavity, these operational components may be susceptible to shifting and becoming misaligned when the portable electronic device is subject to a load associated with a drop event. Consequently, the misalignment of these operational components may lead to premature failure of these operational components. Accordingly, there is a need for the enclosure to incorporate supporting structures that are capable of dispersing the energy associated with the load, thereby preventing these operational components from shifting out of alignment.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Representative applications of methods and apparatus according to the present application are described in this section. These examples are being provided solely to add context and aid in the understanding of the described embodiments. It will thus be apparent to one skilled in the art that the described embodiments may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process steps have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the described embodiments. Other applications are possible, such that the following examples should not be taken as limiting. 
     In the following detailed description, references are made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the description and in which are shown, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in accordance with the described embodiments. Although these embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable one skilled in the art to practice the described embodiments, it is understood that these examples are not limiting; such that other embodiments may be used, and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the described embodiments. 
     The embodiments described herein relate generally to support structures for securing operational components in a portable electronic device. In particular, the support structures are capable of preventing these operational components from becoming misaligned in the event that the portable electronic device is subject to a load associated with a drop event. As used herein, the term “load path” may refer to the path of maximum stress on a load-bearing member in response to an applied load. In some examples, the main portion of the load path is transferred through the stiffest route of the support structures. In some examples, the load path is based on the structural stiffness of these support structures. 
     Although recent technological advances and increased consumer demand have driven manufacturers to incorporate additional operational components (e.g., processors, antennas, front cameras, rear cameras, haptic feedback components, etc.) into portable electronic devices, this has become progressively more challenging due to the small cavities of these enclosures of these portable electronic devices. Consequently, when the portable electronic device is subject to a load associated with a drop event (e.g., dropping the portable electronic device on a hard surface, etc.), these operational components are susceptible to shifting and becoming temporarily and/or permanently misaligned. Unfortunately, the misalignment of these operational component(s) often leads to premature failure. Further problematic is that due to the small cavities of these portable electronic devices, enclosure components (e.g., trim structures, etc.) may be required to increase the thickness of the enclosure to fit operational components that are unable to fit within the standard thickness of the enclosure. However, these enclosure components may offset the balance of the weight of the portable electronic device during a drop event, thereby causing these enclosure components to disproportionately receive the load associated with the drop event. 
     To cure the aforementioned deficiencies, the systems and techniques described herein relate to support structures (e.g., brace structures, etc.) that are capable of backing and supporting enclosure components such as trim structures, back walls, glass cover layers, and the like during a drop event. Beneficially, these support structures can limit and/or prevent deflection of these enclosure components, thereby minimizing damage and misalignment of these operational components. Additionally, in some examples, these support structures are tuned to have varying degrees of stiffness so as provide an optimal load dispersion path. For instance, these support structures may be tuned to selectively cause deflection of the load away from enclosure components having a marginal amount of stiffness and instead towards the enclosure, which is generally formed of a unibody construction and, as a result, has a greater amount of stiffness capable of bearing the stress associated with the load. 
     According to some embodiments, a portable electronic device is described. The portable electronic device includes an enclosure, a trim structure that protrudes from the enclosure, where the trim structure includes walls that define a cavity, and the trim structure is capable of carrying an electronic component within the cavity, a support plate that couples together the enclosure and the trim structure, and a brace structure that couples together the trim structure and the support plate, where the trim structure and the brace structure define a load path such that a load applied to the trim structure is redirected by the load path towards the brace structure and away from the electronic component. 
     These and other embodiments are discussed below with reference to  FIGS. 1A-1B and 3-12 . However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the detailed description given herein with respect to these figures is for explanatory purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. 
       FIGS. 1A-1B  illustrate a portable electronic device that includes support structures, in accordance with various embodiments. In particular, the support structures are capable of supporting operational components that are carried within a cavity of an enclosure of the portable electronic device. According to some examples, the portable electronic device can include a computing device, a smartphone, a laptop, a smartwatch, a fitness tracker, a mobile phone, a wearable consumer device, and the like. The enclosure of the portable electronic device can also be referred to as a housing. 
       FIG. 1A  illustrates a first perspective view of the portable electronic device  100 , where the portable electronic device  100  includes an enclosure  110  having walls that define a cavity (not illustrated), where one or more operational components are carried within the cavity. The enclosure  110  includes a top wall  112 -A, a bottom wall  112 -B, and side walls  112 -C. 
       FIG. 1A  illustrates that the portable electronic device  100  includes a display assembly  102  that covers a majority of a top surface of the enclosure  110 . The display assembly  102  can include a capacitive unit and/or a force detection unit that is capable of detecting an input at the display assembly  102  and presenting a corresponding graphical output at the display assembly  102 . In some embodiments, the display assembly  102  is overlaid by a protective cover  108 , where the protective cover  108  is secured with a trim structure  106 . In particular, the trim structure  106  may be joined to the enclosure  110  with an attachment feature, such as an adhesive, a weld, and the like. The protective cover  108  may prevent surface abrasions and scratches from damaging the display assembly  102 . The protective cover  108  may be formed from a transparent material, such as glass, plastic, sapphire, or the like. 
     In some embodiments, the top wall  112 -A may be separated from the bottom wall  112 -B by a dielectric material  116 -A, B, and the side walls  112 -C may be separated from the top wall  112 -A and the bottom wall  112 -B by the dielectric material  116 -A, B. The dielectric material  116 -A, B can include plastic, injection-molded plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”), polyether ether ketone (“PEEK”), ceramic, and the like. By incorporating the dielectric material  116 -A, B, the walls  112 -A, B, C are capable of being electrically isolated from each other. 
     According to some embodiments, the portable electronic device  100  includes a button  146  and a switch  142  that are carried along the side wall  112 -C. The bottom wall  112 -B includes a connector  120  that is capable of providing data and/or power to the portable electronic device  100 . In some examples, the connector  120  refers to a bus and power connector. 
     According to some embodiments, the portable electronic device  100  includes a notch  122  in proximity to the top wall  112 -A. As illustrated in  FIG. 1A , the notch  122  is defined by a cut-out of the protective cover  108 . The notch  122  includes one or more electronic components  124  (e.g., infrared detector, front-facing camera, etc.). In some examples, the one or more electronic components  124  may be utilized for facial recognition. It should be noted that the supporting structures described herein may be utilized to secure these electronic components  124  such as to prevent these electronic components  124  from becoming dislodged or misaligned when the portable electronic device  100  experiences a load event. 
     According to some examples, at least one of the top wall  112 -A, the bottom wall  112 -B, or the side wall  112 -C may be formed of material other than metal. Beneficially, the use of non-metal material can reduce the amount of electromagnetic interference associated with the enclosure  110  and a wireless transceiver that is carried within the enclosure  110 . Additionally, the use of non-metal material reduces the amount of parasitic capacitance between any metal support structures that are carried within the cavity and the enclosure  110 . According to some examples, the non-metal material includes glass, plastic, ceramic, and the like. Although non-metal material such as glass is beneficial in permitting electromagnetic waves to pass through the enclosure  110 , the glass is also more susceptible than metal to cracking or deforming when the portable electronic device  100  experiences a drop event. 
     According to some embodiments, the portable electronic device  100  carries one or more operational components within a cavity (not illustrated) of the portable electronic device  100 . These operational components may include a circuit board, an antenna, a multi-core processor, a haptic feedback module, a camera, a sensor, an IR detector, an inductive charging coil, and the like. 
       FIG. 1B  illustrates a second perspective view of the portable electronic device  100 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 1B , an operational component  150  is carried at least in part within a protruding trim structure  140 . The protruding trim structure  140  is disposed in proximity to a corner  108  of the enclosure  110 . In some examples, proximity may refer to the operational component  150  is a distance of less than about 50 mm from the corner  108 . As illustrated in  FIG. 1B , the operational component  150  is a camera system having dual lenses (e.g., wide and a telephoto, etc.). Additionally, the camera system may include a flash module. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 1B , the protruding trim structure  140  is secured to and extends from a back wall  130  of the portable electronic device  100 . According to some examples, the back wall  130  is formed of a material other than metal. The non-metal material enables a magnetic field to pass through the enclosure  110  in order to charge wireless charging coils  160 , such as magnetic cores that include ferrites. 
       FIG. 2  illustrates a magnified perspective view of a portable electronic device  200  that includes support structures capable of supporting operational components, in accordance with some embodiments. In particular,  FIG. 2  illustrates that a back wall  130  of the enclosure  110  includes a protruding trim structure  140  that is joined to and extends from the back wall  130 . In particular, the protruding trim structure  140  has a thickness that is sufficient to accommodate an operational component  150 . For example, the operational component  150  has dimensions (i.e., shape, height, width, etc.) that exceeds the limitations of the dimensions of the enclosure  110 . In other words, the protruding trim structure  140  enables the operational component  150  to extend past the dimensions of the enclosure  110 . Therefore, by carrying at least a part of the operational component  150  within a cavity of the protruding trim structure  140 , the operational component  150  may be carried by the portable electronic device  200 . In some examples, the protruding trim structure  140  is secured to a rear trim structure (not illustrated) and walls of the enclosure  110 . 
     According to some examples, the protruding trim structure  140  extends between about 0.5 mm to about 10 mm from an external surface of the back wall  130 . In other words, the protruding trim structure  140  may have a thickness that is between about 0.5 mm to about 10 mm. In other examples, the protruding trim structure  140  extends between about 1 mm to about 50 mm from the external surface of the back wall  130 . However, it should be noted that the protruding trim structure  140  may be of any thickness as suitable for carrying the operational component  150 . 
     Although the protruding trim structure  140  imparts benefits to the portable electronic device  200 , such as the capability to carry an operational component  150  having dimensions greater than the enclosure  110  of the portable electronic device  200 , the protruding trim structure  140  may also be susceptible to receiving a load force when the portable electronic device  200  is dropped on the floor. In particular, the protruding trim structure  140  may offset the balance of the enclosure  110  so as to potentially favor causing an impact along the corner  108  of the portable electronic device  200 . Consequently, the impact causes a load path to travel through the protruding trim structure  140 , thereby causing the operational component  150  to become dislodged and misaligned relative to other structures. Additionally, the load path may travel to the back wall  130  and the back trim structure that surrounds the perimeter of the back wall  130 . 
       FIG. 3  illustrates a magnified cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  300  as taken along the A-A reference line of the portable electronic device  200  illustrated in  FIG. 2 , in accordance with some embodiments.  FIG. 3  illustrates that the portable electronic device  300  includes an enclosure  310  that carries an image capture system  350  within a cavity  370 , where the image capture system  350  includes a wide lens  354 -A and a telephoto lens  354 -B. Additionally, the image capture system  350  is overlaid by a cover layer  352 . Furthermore, the enclosure  310  includes a power supply unit  360  (e.g., a rechargeable battery, etc.) and electronic components  362 , such as an IR detector, front-facing camera, and the like. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the enclosure  310  includes a brace structure  320  that surrounds and/or supports the image capture system  350 . The brace structure  320  may be welded to a circuit board or support plate so that the brace structure is capable of coordinating with metal material of the enclosure  310  to define an active antenna. Indeed, the enclosure  310  may be formed of metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and the like such that the enclosure  310  functions as an active antenna. In some examples, the enclosure  310  includes different metal sections, such as a long arm section  312  and a short arm section  314  that are capable of transmitting and/or receiving high-frequency electromagnetic waves. Additionally, in some examples, the brace structure  320  includes an antenna arm that is welded to the brace structure that may be utilized to transmit high-frequency electromagnetic waves. 
     Although illustrated in greater detail with reference to  FIG. 5 , the brace structure  320  includes one or more flanged sections having walls that extend from the circuit board or the support plate. In some examples, the walls may extend along the length of the brace structure  320 , although the walls may be of varied heights so as to provide variations in stiffness across the length of the brace structure  320 . Stiffness may be defined as a relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material in the linear elasticity regime of a uniaxial deformation. In some examples, the brace structure  320  is formed of metal having a high degree of stiffness. Thus, the brace structure  320  provides a degree of stiffness through at least a part of the enclosure that is not covered by any one of the top wall  112 -A, the bottom wall  112 -B, or the side walls  112 -C. Beneficially, the brace structure  320  is capable of providing an opposing an amount of stiffness such as when a load is applied against a top surface of the enclosure  310 . In some examples, the walls of the brace structure  320  may extend upwards towards the display assembly  108 . Additionally, because the walls of the brace structure  320  are formed of metal, the walls of the brace structure  320  are also capable of functioning as an active antenna. Indeed, the taller the walls of the brace structure  320 , the closer the brace structure  320  will be to the metal material of the enclosure  110 ; thus, the brace structure  320  may also be utilized as an antenna. However, it should be noted that consideration is made to minimizing parasitic capacitance between the brace structure  320  and the enclosure  310 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the brace structure  320  includes a first flanged section  322  that is positioned furthest from the corner  308  of the enclosure  110 . The first flanged section  322  is bordered/attached to a support plate  330  as indicated by region  322 -A of the first flanged section. As the length of the region  322 -A of the first flanged section  322  is continually bordered by the support plate  330 , the region  322 -A demonstrates generally constant stiffness throughout. Additionally, the first flanged section  322  of the brace structure  320  include a thick wall that imparts the region  322 -A with increased stiffness. The increased stiffness of the region  322 -A can prevent the first flanged section  322  from deflecting into the support plate  330  when the portable electronic device  300  is subject to a drop event. Additionally, if the support plate  330  is formed of glass, this increased stiffness can prevent the first flanged section  322  from potentially cracking the support plate  330 . 
     Furthermore, the first flanged section  322  includes a region  322 -B that is associated with a gradually decreased stiffness relative to the region  322 -A. In particular, the first flanged section  322  is characterized as having a reduced stiffness along the corner of the brace structure  320  that is furthest from the corner  308 , which may attributed to a gap  323  that separates the region  322 -B of the first flanged section  322  from the support plate  330 . Beneficially, due to the reduced stiffness of the region  322 -B, this gap  323  prevents the first flanged section  322  from deflecting into the support plate  330  when the portable electronic device  300  is subject to a drop event. 
     Furthermore,  FIG. 3  illustrates that the brace structure  320  includes a second flanged section  324  and a third flanged section  326 . In some examples, the second and third flanged sections  324 ,  326  include walls that enclose at least a part of the operational component  350 . Additionally, the walls of the second and third flanged sections  324 ,  326  are capable of pushing back against a load that is exerted against a top surface of the enclosure  110 . In some examples, any one of the second or third flanged section  324 ,  326  can include gaps or seams so as to minimize parasitic capacitance and/or increase antenna performance. However, by including such gaps or seams, these second or third flanged sections  324 ,  326  are more susceptible to bending. 
       FIG. 4  illustrates a side view of a portable electronic device  400 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 4 , the portable electronic device  400  includes an enclosure  110  that carries operational components within a cavity. Additionally, the enclosure  110  is coupled to a protruding trim component  140 , where the protruding trim component  140  is positioned in proximity to a corner  108  of the enclosure  110 . The protruding trim component  140  is characterized as having a thickness and a shape that is sufficient to carry an operational component  350  at least in part within a cavity (not illustrated) of the protruding trim component  140 . As illustrated in  FIG. 4 , the operational component  350  is overlaid by a cover layer  354  that prevents and/or minimizes damage to the operational component  350 , such as when the portable electronic device  400  is subject to a drop event. 
       FIG. 5  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  500  taken along the reference section B-B of the portable electronic device  400  as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the portable electronic device  500  includes an enclosure  510 , which may correspond to one of the side walls  112 -C. The enclosure  510  is joined to metal bands  512 , which may correspond to a perimeter structure of the portable electronic device  500 . The metal bands  512  are capable of increasing the stiffness of the enclosure  510 . 
     Disposed below the metal bands  512  is a support plate  530 . In some examples, the support plate  530  is capable of supporting operational components, such as the power supply unit  360 , a circuit board, a wireless transceiver, a camera system, and the like. In some examples, the support plate  530  is formed of a non-metal material. Beneficially, the use of non-metal materials can reduce the amount of electromagnetic interference of the enclosure  310 , especially with regard to antenna signals. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the brace structure  520  is coupled to the enclosure  510  and/or the metal bands  512 . The brace structure  520  supports the protruding trim structure  540  and the support plate  530 . In some examples, the brace structure  520  is joined to the protruding trim structure  540  by at least one of an adhesive, a weld, a fastener, and the like. The protruding trim structure  540  includes an engagement surface defined by an overhang  548 , where the overhang  548  is disposed at a non-parallel and/or non-perpendicular angle relative to the support plate  530 . As described with reference to  FIG. 3 , the brace structure  520  includes walls  522  that extend towards the display trim  106  and the protective cover  108 . In some examples, the walls  522  have a thickness that is between about 0.4 mm-0.6 mm. In other examples, the walls  522  have a thickness that is between about 0.1 mm-1 mm. It should be noted that the thickness of the walls  522  may be of any thickness that is sufficient to protect the operational component  550 . Beneficially, the walls  522  provide an amount of stiffness that is sufficient to compensate for any natural deflection of the brace structure  520 . According to some examples, the brace structure  520  is comprised of half hard steel, three quarter hard steel, metal injection molding, and the like. In some examples, the walls  522  of the brace structure  520  do not have a constant height (i.e., non-uniform height). In some examples, it may not be preferable for the walls  522  of the brace structure  520  to end at a region associated with the natural peak deflection of the brace structure  520 . 
     According to some embodiments, the brace structure  520  is secured to the support plate  530  by an attachment feature  524  such as at least one of an adhesive, a weld, a fastener, and the like in order to limit bending of the support plate  530  and/or the brace structure  520 . In particular, when the portable electronic device  500  is subject to a drop event, the impact and load that initially travels through the protruding trim structure  540  is likely to cause a load path to travel through to the support plate  530 . In order to prevent the brace structure  520  from deflecting into the operational component  550 , the brace structure  520  is hard captured to the back of the support plate  520  with the attachment feature  524 . Additionally, hard capturing the brace structure  520  to the back of the support plate  530  may also limit bending of the support plate  520 . In some examples, the support plate is between about 0.5 mm to about 1.5 mm thick. As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the metal brace  520  may back up at least a majority (or substantially all) of the support plate  530 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the protruding trim structure  540  is proud from the support plate  530 . As a result, the protruding trim structure  540  may be susceptible to increased exposure to a load event when the portable electronic device  500  is exposed to a drop event. Accordingly, to minimize damage to the protruding trim structure  540  and its cosmetic appearance, the protruding trim structure  540  may be specially processed. In some examples, the external surface(s) of the protruding trim structure  540  may undergo at least one of a cladding, electroplating, anodizing, sputter deposition process, and the like such as to minimize the amount of abrasion and/or scratches that will detract from the aesthetic appearance of the protruding trim structure  540 . Additionally, the protruding trim structure  540  may be processed to have an appearance that is generally uniform or identical to the enclosure  510 , such as with respect to light reflectivity, color, texture, and the like. In some examples, the coating of a first surface  540 -A of the protruding trim structure  540  that is parallel to the back wall  130  of the portable electronic device  500  may be stronger than the coating of a second surface  540 -B of the protruding trim structure  540  that is angled (i.e., other than parallel) relative to the back wall  130 . In particular, the first surface  540 -A may be more susceptible to being scratched and may be require increased hardness and abrasion resistance than the second surface  540 -B. According to some examples, the protruding trim structure  540  is formed of aluminum, an aluminum alloy, steel, stainless steel, titanium, and the like. According to some examples, the protruding trim structure  540  may be formed of one or more similar materials as the enclosure  510 . In some instances, it may be difficult to apply a single coating with variations in abrasion resistance over both the protruding trim structure  540  and the trim structure  542 . Therefore, by separating a single-part trim structure into two parts (i.e., the protruding trim structure  540  and the trim structure  542 ), these parts may be more easily treated according to their separate processes. In some examples, it may be difficult to color match the first surface  540 -A of the protruding trim structure  540  to the enclosure  510  while also providing sufficient rigidity/stiffness. However, in other examples, the protruding trim structure  540  and the trim structure  542  may be formed as an integral single part. 
     According to some embodiments, the portable electronic device  500  includes an operational component  550  (e.g., a camera, etc.) that is carried at least in part within a cavity  546  of the protruding trim structure  540 . According to some examples, the brace structure  520  acts as an alignment feature for the operational component  550 . The brace structure  520  securely captures the protruding trim structure  540  and the trim structure  542 . As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the protruding trim structure  540  is directly attached to trim structure  542 , where the trim structure  542  is joined to the cover layer  552  that overlays a portion of the operational component  550 . In particular, because the trim structure  542  is attached to the cover layer  552 , the trim structure  542  may absorb a greater share of a load that travels through the cover layer  552  than the protruding trim structure  540  when the portable electronic device  500  is subjected to a drop event. 
     According to some embodiments, the support plate  530  extends into a corner—e.g., the corner  308 —of the portable electronic device  500 . The support plate  530  adds stiffness to the corner  308 , as well as helps to draw heat generated by the operational component  550  away from the operational component  550 . For example, the support plate  530  may be comprised of a material having a higher conductivity coefficient than the material of the operational component  550 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the protruding trim structure  540  is joined to a trim structure  542  by a fastening feature, such as an adhesive, undercut structure, weld, and the like. In some examples, the trim structure  542  and the protruding trim structure  540  are grounded together in order to prevent electrostatic discharge within the portable electronic device  500 . The protruding trim structure  540  is hermetically sealed from the support plate  530  with an O-ring  544 . 
       FIG. 6  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  600  taken along the reference section B-B of the portable electronic device  400  as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the portable electronic device  600  includes an enclosure  510  that is joined to a metal band  512 , which may correspond to a perimeter structure of the portable electronic device  600 . As illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the brace structure  520  is coupled to the metal band  512 , where the metal band  512  includes an insert-molded piece  626  that holds an arm  628  of the brace structure  520  so as to prevent the brace structure  520  from deflecting away from the metal band  512  in the event that the portable electronic device  600  is subject to a drop event. Similar to the brace structure  520  of the portable electronic device  500 , the portable electronic device  600  includes walls  522  that extend upwards and provide increased stiffness to compensate for any natural deflection of the brace structure  520  and/or the support plate  530 . 
       FIG. 7  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  700  taken along the reference section C-C of the portable electronic device  400  as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 7 , the portable electronic device  700  includes a protruding trim structure  540 . In contrast to the portable electronic device  500 ,  600 , the portable electronic device  700  does not include a brace structure  520 . Rather, the protruding trim structure  540  is joined to the trim structure  542  by way of an attachment feature  524 -A. In some examples, the protruding trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  700  has an amount of stiffness that compensates for the absence of the brace structure  520 . For example, when the portable electronic device  800  is subject to a drop event, the protruding trim structure  540  is capable of limiting an amount of bending/deflecting as a result of a load that passes through the protruding trim structure  540  so as to minimize the amount of load that is received by the support plate  530 . The protruding trim structure  540  includes an engagement surface defined by an overhang  548 , where the overhang  548  is disposed at a non-parallel and/or non-perpendicular angle relative to the support plate  530 . The engagement surface of the overhang  548  may be capable of receiving the load. 
     Additionally, in contrast to the trim structure  542  of the portable electronic device  500 ,  600 , the trim structure  542  is attached to the support plate  530  by way of an attachment feature  524 -B. In some examples, the attachment feature  524 -A, B is an adhesive, a weld, a fastener, or an interlock structure. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 7 , the protruding trim structure  540  is directly attached to the support plate  530 . As detailed herein, because the trim structure  542  is directly attached to the cover layer  552 , the trim structure  542  may absorb a greater share of a load that travels through the cover layer  552  when the portable electronic device  700  is subjected to a drop event relative to the protruding trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  500 ,  600 . 
       FIG. 8  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  800  taken along the reference section C-C of the portable electronic device  400  as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the portable electronic device  800  does not include a brace structure  520 . Rather, the protruding trim structure  540  has an amount of stiffness that compensates for the absence of the brace structure  520 .  FIG. 8  further illustrates that the protruding trim structure  540  is attached to the trim structure  542  by way of an attachment feature  524 -A and attached to the support plate  530  by way of an attachment feature  524 -C. Therefore, unlike the protruding trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  500 ,  600 , the protruding trim structure  540  is not directly joined to the support plate  530 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the trim structure  542  is attached to the cover layer  552  by way of an attachment feature  524 -B. As detailed herein, the cover layer  552  overlays a portion of the operational component  550  so as to protect the operational component  550  from abrasions. The trim structure  542  is capable of absorbing a greater share of a load that travels through the cover layer  552  when the portable electronic device  800  is subjected to a drop event relative to the protruding trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  500 ,  600 . 
       FIG. 9  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  900  taken along the reference section C-C of the portable electronic device  400  as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 9 , the portable electronic device  900  includes a protruding trim structure  540 . In contrast to the portable electronic device  500 ,  600 , the portable electronic device  900  does not include a brace structure  520 . In some examples, the protruding trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  900  has an amount of stiffness that compensates for the absence of the brace structure  520 . As illustrated in  FIG. 9 , the protruding trim structure  540  is joined to the support plate  530  by way of an attachment feature  524 -C. Additionally, a through-gap  902  separates the protruding trim structure  540  from the trim structure  542 . 
       FIG. 10  illustrates a cross-sectional view of a portable electronic device  1000  taken along the reference section C-C of the portable electronic device  400  as illustrated in  FIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. In contrast to the portable electronic device  900 , the protruding trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  1000  is attached to the trim structure  542  by an attachment feature  524 -C. Additionally, the protruding trim structure  540  is directly attached to the support plate  530 . 
     In contrast to the portable electronic device  900 , the trim structure  540  of the portable electronic device  1000  does not include the through-gap  902 . Moreover, the trim structure  542  includes a ledge portion  1002  that is attached to the protruding trim structure  540  by the attachment feature  524 -C. 
       FIG. 11A  illustrates a side view of a portable electronic device  1100  in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 11A , the portable electronic device  1100  includes an operational component  1150  that is carried at least in part by a protruding trim structure  1140 . The protruding trim structure  1140  is joined to an enclosure  1100 . In particular,  FIG. 11A  illustrates that the protruding trim structure  1140  is subject to a load during a drop event. 
       FIG. 11B  illustrates a cross-sectional view of the portable electronic device  1100  taken along the reference section D-D as illustrated in  FIG. 11A , in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 11B , an external surface of the protruding trim structure  1140  may be subject to an amount of load force when the portable electronic device  1100  is subject to a drop event.  FIG. 11B  illustrates a load path  1102  that goes through the protruding trim structure  1140 . The portable electronic device  1100  ensures that the operational components remain secured (i.e., not dislodged) within the enclosure  1100  regardless if the load path  1102  transitions into a first load path  1104  or a second load path  1106 . 
     According to some examples, the load path  1102  transitions into a first load path  1104  that passes through the protruding trim structure  1140 , an attachment feature (not illustrated) that attaches the protruding trim structure  1140  to a brace structure  1120 , to the brace structure  1120 , and then to the enclosure  1110  of the portable electronic device  1100 . In this manner, the protruding trim structure  1140  can cause the load path  1102  to completely bypass the support plate  1130 . Beneficially, by bypassing the support plate  1130 , there is minimal risk that the load will bend and/or deflect the support plate  1130  so as to cause the support plate  1130  to deflect into the operational component  1150 . 
     According to some examples, the load path  1102  transitions into a second load path  1106  that passes through the protruding trim structure  1140 , the brace structure  1120 , and then to the support plate  1130 . However, because the support plate  1130  is backed by the brace structure  1120 , the brace structure  1120  minimizes the deflection of the support plate  1120 , thereby preventing the load from causing the support plate  1130  to deflect into the operational component  1150 . According to some examples, the load path  1102  through the portable electronic device  1100  may represent a combination of the first and second load paths  1102 ,  1104 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 11B , the operational component  1150  and the protruding trim structure  1140  are positioned in proximity to a corner of the enclosure  1110  and offset of a midline of the portable electronic device  1100 . Beneficially, positioning the operational component  1150  in proximity to the corner enables room in the cavity of the enclosure  1100  for the electronic components  362  (e.g., infrared camera, front-facing camera, etc.), the inductive charging coil  160 , and the power supply unit  360 . Furthermore, positioning the protruding trim structure  1140  and the accompanying brace structure  1120  in proximity to the enclosure  1110  strengthens the antenna signal. 
       FIG. 12  illustrates a flow diagram of a method  1200  for forming an enclosure for a portable electronic device that includes support structures for securing operational components, in accordance with some embodiments. As illustrated in  FIG. 12 , the method  1200  begins at step  1202  where a protruding trim structure  540  is secured to a support plate  530  and metal bands  512  of an enclosure  510  for a portable electronic device  500 . Although the method  1200  is described with reference to the portable electronic device  500  of  FIG. 5 , it should be noted that the method can equally apply to any one of the portable electronic devices  100 ,  300 ,  600 ,  700 ,  800 ,  900 ,  100 , or  1100  as described herein. 
     At step  1204 , a brace structure  520  is secured to the protruding trim structure  540 , where the protruding trim structure  540  is sufficient to carry in part an operational component  550 . 
     At step  1206 , the brace structure  520  is secured to a support plate  530  by an attachment feature. According to some examples, the attachment feature includes at least one of a weld, an adhesive, an interlock feature, an inter-molded part, and the like. 
     At step  1208 , the operational component  550  is secured at least in part within a cavity of the protruding trim structure  540  by utilizing the brace structure  540 . 
       FIG. 13  illustrates a system diagram of a portable electronic device  1300  that is capable of implementing the various techniques described herein, according to some embodiments. In particular, the detailed view illustrates various components that can be included in the portable electronic device  100  as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 13 , the portable electronic device  1300  can include a processor  1310  for controlling the overall operation of the portable electronic device  1300 . The portable electronic device  1300  can include a display  1390 . The display  1390  can be a touch screen panel that can include a sensor (e.g., capacitance sensor). The display  1390  can be controlled by the processor  1310  to display information to the user. A data bus  1302  can facilitate data transfer between at least one memory  1320  and the processor  1310 . The portable electronic device  1300  can also include a network/bus interface  1304  that couples a wireless antenna  1360  to the processor  1310 . 
     The portable electronic device  1300  can include a user input device  1380 , such as a switch. The portable electronic device  1300  includes a power supply unit  1350 , such as a lithium-ion battery. The portable electronic device  1300  also includes a memory  1320 , which can comprise a single disk or multiple disks (e.g., hard drives), and includes a storage management module that manages one or more partitions within the memory  1320 . In some embodiments, the memory  1320  can include flash memory, semiconductor (solid state) memory or the like. The portable electronic device  1300  can also include a Random Access Memory (RAM) and a Read-Only Memory (ROM). The ROM can store programs, utilities or processes to be executed in a non-volatile manner. The RAM can provide volatile data storage, and stores instructions related to the operation of the portable electronic device  1300 .
