The frame component 206 can be formed from any suitable metal or non-metal material including, but not limited to, metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, gold, rose gold, platinum, titanium, amorphous metal alloys, and so on; non-metals such as plastic, wood, leather, nylon, polymeric materials, plastics, ceramics, glass, and so on. In some examples, the frame component 206 is formed by bonding multiple elements to one another whereas in other examples, the frame component 206 has a unitary construction. In some embodiments, the frame component 206 may not be required.

Similarly, the outer cover 208 can be formed from any suitable metal or non-metal material including but not limited to metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, gold, rose gold, platinum, titanium, amorphous metal alloys, and so on; non-metals such as plastic, wood, leather, nylon, polymeric materials, plastics, ceramics, glass, and so on. In some examples, the outer cover 208 is formed by bonding multiple elements to one another whereas in other examples, the outer cover 208 has a unitary construction. In a typical embodiment, the outer cover 208 is formed from one or more layers of strengthened or hardened glass. In these cases and other embodiments, the outer cover 208 can be referred to as a glass layer. “
