HOUSING BODY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDED WITH HOUSING BODY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce effort for an opening operation of a cover as one aspect of a technique disclosed by the present application.SOLUTION: A note personal computer 10 comprises: a fixture-side housing body 30 that has an opening part 40 formed; and a memory cover 50 that is openably/closably attached to the opening part 40. The memory cover 50 has a first gripping piece 62A that extends toward a depth side of the opening 40 and a second gripping piece 62B that is arranged to face the first gripping piece 62A. The second gripping piece 62B is elastically supported so as to be able to contact and separate with and from the first gripping piece 62A, and forms an insertion groove 64 between the first gripping piece 62A and the second gripping piece 62B. When a tip end 90A of a flat-bladed screwdriver 90 is inserted into the insertion groove 64, the second gripping piece 62B is separated from the first gripping piece 62A to thereby release an engagement state of a claw part 70 with respect to an engaged part 82, and the tip end 90A of the flat-bladed screwdriver 90 is gripped between the first gripping piece 62A and the second gripping piece 62B.
