Patent abstract
A hinge mechanism movably connects two housings of a wireless communication device such that the housing move relative to each other between open and closed positions. The hinge mechanism include a magnetic detent that initially resists the housing moving between the open and closed positions. However, the magnetic detent yields to move the housing between the open and closed positions whenever a user applies an amount of force that is sufficient to overcome the initial resistance.
