Patent number: 10832101Abstract: The present subject matter describes an electronic card holder. In an example implementation, the electronic card holder includes a housing having a slot to receive an electronic card. A slidable frame in the housing is to hold the electronic card. The slidable frame has a stud fittable in a groove in the housing. The card holder includes a resilient element with one end being coupled to the housing and other end being coupled to the slidable frame.
