Zusammenfassung:	A method of manufacturing a button-enabled housing assembly (200) includes preforming a composite button component or insert (645) having an elastically flexible button membrane (404) that is mounted on a rigid frame (303), and thereafter molding a housing (206) over the button insert. The composite button insert is formed in a co- molding operation and can include a rigid island (423) in the flexible button membrane for supporting a cosmetic keycap (251).
