The flip or clamshell is an electronics form factor which is in two or more sections that fold via a hinge. Motorola used to have a trademark on the term "flip phone",[1] but the term "flip phone" has become genericized to be used more frequently than "Clamshell" in colloquial speech. This design is often used in technology, particularly portable devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers, subnotebooks, the Game Boy Advance SP and the Nintendo DS. When the clamshell is open, the device is ready for use. The interface components are kept inside the clamshell, which offers more surface area than when the device is closed. Interface components such as keys and display are protected when the clamshell is closed, and it is less long or wide, making the device easier to carry around.
