One side of the rectangular surface has a cellphone-sized cutout. It's inside this frame that the accompanying handset can be snapped; this way, the two gizmos combined fit compactly within the dimensions of your typical tablet.

Meanwhile, keep a good grip on the tablet with the handle that's consequently created by the handset's removal.
