Abstract: A faceplate with high binding capability comprises a flexible outer layer, a metal plate, and a connection element. The internal surface of the flexible outer layer is correspondingly adhered to the external surface of the metal plate via an adhesive layer. The metal plate is provided with at least a positioning hole throughout the metal plate. The external opening's width of the positioning hole is wider than the internal opening's width thereof. Thereby, after being shaped, the connection element can be firmly connected to the internal surface of the metal plate. The connection element has at least a connection part, so that the faceplate can be firmly connected to a 3C (computer, communication, and consumer-electronics) product.
