    Abstract: An electronic device packaging system that allows customer access, through a side accessible opening, to a connector of an enclosed electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device packaging system includes a front member and a back member that cooperate to form a device-accommodating compartment to enclose the electronic device. The device-accommodating compartment has at least one side configured with the side accessible opening through which the electronic connector is graspable by the customer through the accessible opening disposed on the side of the front member. The side placement of the “try it” feature allows full utilization of the front and back of the package for advertising graphics or information, or product display, thus resulting in a compact, efficient package, with advantages for both retailers and customers.
