  • a metal sheet is selected which is sufficiently stable with the smallest possible sheet thickness and does not or only insignificantly influences a transmission and reception power of the device.
  • the shell-shaped base element is formed by deep-drawing from the sheet metal and thereby work-hardened.
  • the deep drawing may be carried out as an ironing draw, whereby an initial wall thickness is reduced even further.
  • a targeted solidification of the material structure can be adjusted, so that the use of materials is further reduced.
  • a particularly good protective function of the shell is achieved in that it is largely or completely closed along its back and its side surfaces. An upper side is left free, so that a control panel, in particular a so-called touch screen, is freely accessible is.
  • the recesses in the range of buttons, cameras, microphones, speaker openings, the brand or type designation of the device or other necessary for the function of places in the receiving tray are introduced.
  • the introduction can be done by a punching or cutting or material removal by milling, drilling or in any other suitable manner.
  • the metal can be used without any surface treatment, especially when using aluminum or an aluminum alloy. This may even be preferred for a desired technical impression.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the invention can be seen in that at least one outer side of the metallic base element is surface-treated, in particular shot-peened, sand-blasted, brushed, coated, chrome-plated or lacquered. In this way, a particularly noble and individual impression of the receiving tray can be created.
  • the surface treatment can also be provided on the entire surface, ie also on the inside of the receiving tray. By an appropriate surface treatment, the value appearance of the shell and thus a device used therein can be maintained or even increased.
  • a housing made of a metal is considered to be particularly stable and valuable.
  • the surface treatment and surface treatment can also be used to apply a pattern, a label, signs, labels, etc. This can be done for example by means of a laser, which is particularly useful in the processing of anodized aluminum material.
  • the laser can be used to remove the matt anodised surface layer and to create shiny metal areas.
  • the retaining lip is arranged in regions or along the entire peripheral edge of the base element.
  • the retaining lip can be arranged approximately only in corner areas or at certain points of the basic element.
  • the retaining lip can be formed from any suitable material, which allows a reliable mounting of the electronic device in the receiving tray.
  • the retaining lip forms an undercut on the receiving tray.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention is that in the retaining lip, which forms a wall portion of the receiving tray, recesses for Functional areas are provided.
  • the functional areas may be, in particular, line connections, for example for a charging cable, and for adjusting buttons, for example for switching on and off or for adjusting the volume.
  • the retaining lip is formed from an elastic material, in particular a rubber material.
  • the rubber material can be arranged not only on the peripheral edge of the receiving tray but also at corner areas or other locations on the outside as an additional impact protection and / or on certain areas of the inside. An arrangement along the inside can contribute to a certain non-positive retention and a damping storage of the device in the receiving tray.
