Device with a mid-frame structure and reverse draft
An electronic reading device includes a mid-frame structure such that the mid-frame structure can include a reverse draft. A reverse draft corresponds to a back of the electronic reading device being a predetermined amount wider than a front of the electronic reading device. Additionally, a co-molded mid-frame stiffener provides a predetermined rigidity of the electronic reading device. The electronic reading device also includes a display integrated with the front of the mid-frame structure, wherein a space between the display and the mid-frame structure includes one or more electronic reading device components. Similarly, a back cover is integrated with the back of the mid-frame structure, wherein a space between the back cover and the mid-frame structure includes additional electronic reading device components.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the display including the micro laser through holes is non-touch sensitive.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of micro laser through holes are configured to
provide an area through which light is visible in response to one or more types of interactions with the electronic reading device.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of micro laser through holes corresponds to a predetermined number of micro laser through holes optimizing visibility of light displayed through the plurality of micro laser through holes while maintaining a predetermined level of visual consistency of the portion of the display including the micro laser through holes.
6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of micro laser through holes include a predetermined positional configuration optimizing visibility of light displayed through the plurality of micro laser through holes while maintaining a predetermined level of visual consistency of the portion of the display including the micro laser through holes.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined positional configuration occupies a predetermined amount of space on the display.
8. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein a predetermined color of light is displayed through the plurality of micro laser through holes corresponding to each of the one or more types of interactions with the electronic device.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the reverse draft is at least a 7-degree reverse draft corresponding to the back of the electronic device being at least 7 degrees wider than the front of the electronic device.
10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the electronic device has a depth of less than 7 millimeters.
11. A method for providing an alert area via a plurality of micro laser through holes, comprising:
combining a front cover, a back cover, and a mid-frame disposed between the front cover and the back cover to provide a mid-frame structure, the mid-frame structure including a reverse draft;
integrating the alert area including the plurality of micro laser through holes into a portion of a display, the display being integrated with the mid-frame structure; and
positioning a light source between the display and the mid-frame structure and aligned with the plurality of micro laser through holes, the light source being configured to activate in response to one or more predetermined types of interactions with the electronic reading device.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
integrating the plurality of micro laser through holes with the portion of the display by maintaining a predetermined level of visual consistency of the portion of the display including the micro laser through holes.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the display including the micro laser through holes is non-touch sensitive.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the non-touch sensitive portion outlines the display.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of micro laser through holes corresponds to a predetermined number of micro laser through holes optimizing visibility of light displayed through the plurality of micro laser through holes while maintaining a predetermined level of visual consistency of the portion of the display including the micro laser through holes.
