On the other hand, the first wall thickness T1 of the horizontal top cases 410H1 and 410H2 may be thinner than the second wall thickness T2 of the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2.

In addition, the materials of the horizontal top cases 410H1 and 410H2 and the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2 may be different from each other. Preferably, the horizontal top cases 410H1 and 410H2 include a metal material, and the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2 may include a plastic material.

The reason why the top case 410 is divided into the horizontal top cases 410H1 and 410H2 and the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2 is described below.

When the top case 410 is made of only a metal material, the top case can be manufactured by processing the mother metal plate 700 by a press working method as shown in FIG.

In this case, as shown in Fig. 15A, the central portion 710 of the mother metal plate 700 can be removed along a predetermined cutting line (CL) in the pressing step.

Thereafter, as in the case of FIG. 15B, the outer portion 720 located at the outer periphery of the central portion 710 of the mother metal plate 700 can be used as a top case.

In this case, since the central portion 710 of the mother metal plate 700 is wasted, manufacturing cost can be increased due to waste of unnecessary materials.

On the other hand, as in the present invention, when the horizontal top cases 410H1 and 410H2 are formed of a metal material and the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2 are formed of a plastic material, the first horizontal case 410H1, Since the two horizontal top cases 410H2, the first vertical top case 410V1 and the second vertical top case 410V2 can be separately manufactured, loss of unnecessary waste materials can be reduced. Thus, the manufacturing cost can be lowered.

In order to match the surface colors of the horizontal top cases 410H1 and 410H2 and the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2 at least one of the vertical part 610 and the horizontal part 600 of the vertical tower cases 410V1 and 410V2 And can be painted or attached with a tape.

For example, a surface of at least one of the vertical portion 610 and the horizontal portion 600 of the vertical top cases 410V1 and 410V2 may be painted with a silver paint or a silver tape, .

Alternatively, it is possible to dispose a cover 800 including a metal material on at least one surface of the vertical portion 610 and the horizontal portion 600 of the vertical tower cases 410V1 and 410V2, as in the case of Fig. 16 .
