The positioning portion 119 is integrally formed with the upright portion 118, and the positioning portion 119 is, for example, beak-shaped, and horizontally protrudes from one side of the upright portion 118, and the front edge of the positioning portion 119 is substantially pressed against the upper edge of the display panel 102, so that the display panel 102 is fixed between the plate 111 and the positioning portion 119. Thus, the display panel 102 has good positioning in the normal direction of the plane and the vertical plane, so as to achieve the function of three-way (X-Y-Z) positioning.

In the present embodiment, although only one positioning structure is shown in the drawings, it is conceivable that other positioning structures may be formed on the plate 111, and the beak-shaped positioning portion 119 is not limited to be used.

Compared with the prior art that the handheld electronic device is adsorbed on the protective sleeve in a magnetic attraction mode, the cost is high, and the protective sleeve and the handheld electronic device all need more magnet installation space, the handheld electronic device and the protective sleeve component thereof do not need to be provided with a plurality of magnetic buttons on the handheld electronic device and the protective sleeve component, so that the part cost is reduced, and the assembly and disassembly modes of the handheld electronic device are changed. In addition, because the buckle mode has the effect of quick installation and dismouting, and only need half plate body can fix the display panel, need not use whole plate body and display panel block to reach the function that outward appearance is pleasing to the eye and three-dimensional location.

In summary, although the present utility model has been described in terms of the above embodiments, it is not limited thereto.
