Abstract

An electronic device comprises a first casing member, a second casing member and a loudspeaker unit adapted to be mounted to the second casing member. The two casing members are designed to be assembled by moving the first casing member towards the second casing member along a given trajectory into a fixing position and fixing it to the second casing member. The loudspeaker unit is held between the first and second casing members.
