A housing for a personal electronic device includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and a pivoting member pivotally attached to the second housing portion. The first housing portion defines a first plane and has a first support member arranged thereon at a first angle to the first plane. The first support member includes at least one through hole for engaging a fastener. The second housing portion defines a second plane and has a second support member arranged thereon at a second angle to the second plane. The second support member includes at least one retaining hole configured to align with the at least one through hole and retain the fastener. The pivoting member is configured to pivot between at least two positions to obscure the fastener.

1. A housing for an electronic device, comprising: a first housing portion having a first support member with a surface defining a plane, the surface having a through hole for engaging a fastener;a second housing portion having a second support member with a retaining hole configured to align with the through hole and for retaining the fastener; anda pivoting member pivotally coupled to the second housing portion, the pivoting member configured to pivot in a direction parallel to the plane, the pivoting member configured to pivot between a first position that obscures the through hole and a second position that allows access to the through hole, wherein an antenna component is coupled to the pivoting member such that the antenna component pivots with the pivoting member. 2. The housing of claim 1, further comprising: a cap positioned over the antenna component and comprised of a radio frequency transparent material allowing radio communication to and/or from the antenna component to pass therethrough. 3. The housing of claim 1, wherein the antenna component is coupled to a first antenna surface and a second antenna surface of the pivoting member, the first antenna surface having a non-parallel orientation with respect to the second antenna surface. 4. The housing of claim 1, wherein a portion of the antenna component is positioned within a gap between the pivoting member and the second housing portion. 5. The housing of claim 4, wherein the portion of the antenna component is partially secured within the gap with a compliance member secured to the second housing portion and positioned within the gap. 6. The housing of claim 5, wherein the portion of the antenna component is positioned between the compliance member and an adhesive compliance member within the gap. 7. The housing of claim 1, wherein the pivoting member is arranged to pivot within a cutout along an edge of the second housing portion. 8. The housing of claim 7, wherein the cutout includes a peripheral edge configured to retain a cosmetic cap configured to obscure the pivoting member in the first position. 9. The housing of claim 8, wherein the cosmetic cap is formed of a substantially radio transparent material. 10. The housing of claim 1, wherein the pivoting member has a first end proximate to a pivot axis of the pivoting member, wherein a second end of the pivoting member is configured to be fastened to the second housing portion when the pivoting member is in the first position. 11. An electronic device, comprising: a housing having a cutout positioned along an edge of the housing, the cutout providing access to an opening for a fastener configured to couple a first housing portion with a second housing portion, the opening positioned on a surface oriented in accordance with a plane;a pivoting member pivotally attached to the second housing portion, the pivoting member configured to pivot in a direction parallel to the plane, the pivoting member configured to pivot between a first position obscuring the opening and a second position allowing access to the opening; andan antenna component coupled to the pivoting member such that the antenna component pivots with the pivoting member between the first position and the second position. 12. The electronic device of claim 11, further comprising: a cap positioned over the antenna component and comprised of a radio frequency transparent material allowing radio communication to and/or from the antenna component to pass therethrough. 13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein a portion of the antenna component is routed within a gap between the pivoting member and the second housing portion. 14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the portion of the antenna component is positioned between a compliance member and an adhesive within the gap. 15. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the gap provides access to an inner cavity of the housing. 16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the antenna component is electrically connected via the gap to a component within the inner cavity of the housing. 17. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the pivoting member is pivotally attached to the second housing portion by a pivoting engagement member positioned within a pivoting engagement recess of the second housing portion. 18. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the pivoting member comprises at least two surfaces, wherein the antenna component is coupled with the at least two surfaces. 19. The electronic device of claim 11, further comprising: an electronic components disposed in an inner cavity of the housing, wherein the antenna component is in operative communication with the electronic component. 20. The electronic device of claim 19, wherein an interconnect portion of the antenna component is routed between the pivoting member and the second housing portion. 21. A method of assembling a housing of an electronic device, the housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion, the second housing portion having a cutout positioned along an edge of the second housing portion, the cutout providing access to a fastener configured to couple the first housing portion with the second housing portion, the housing including a pivoting member pivotally attached to the second housing portion and configured to pivot between a first position hiding the fastener and a second position providing access to the fastener, the method comprising: populating an inner cavity of the housing with electronic components;electrically interconnecting an antenna component supported by the pivoting member to at least a portion of the electronic components;positioning the first housing portion with respect to the second housing portion such that a first opening of the first housing portion is aligned with a second opening of the second housing portion, the first opening positioned on a surface of the first housing portion oriented in accordance with a plane;pivoting the pivoting member in a direction parallel to the plane to the second position with the antenna component coupled thereto allowing access to the aligned first opening and second opening;attaching the first housing portion to the second housing portion by positioning the fastener through the aligned first opening and second opening; andpivoting the pivoting member to the first position obscuring the fastener. 22. The method of claim 21, further comprising: attaching a cosmetic cap to the second housing portion so as to obscure the pivoting member.
