Further describing the second embodiment of FIGS. 8-14, the similar shading drawn on the side grips, a majority of the entry keys, and antenna illustrate that these regions may be formed of a first material type (such as one or more of an elestomeric or rubber material). The second material on the front portion of the device illustrated by the darker shading includes a different material from that of the other illustrated surfaces. The second material may present a chrome or chrome-like appearance. A third shading type (cross-hatched) on the rear surface of the device illustrates a third material having a visually different appearance from the first and second materials. The third material may be a high gloss surface. The unshaded region of the device indicates a fourth portion of the device having a visually different surface material relative to the other three materials (such as a sparkle-metallic finish).
