trimming Explanation: Such lamps often have rubber trims at the top and the bottom to make them a little more shock-proof.

grip Explanation: Just another suggestion. "robust rubber grip"?? Based on the assumption that the rubber is there to prevent it slipping in the hand or simply for comfort. |

2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1housing or body Explanation: "with hard-wearing solid rubber housing (or body). The source is awkward to translate: widerstansfähig- is clear bur resistent to what? Shock? Water? We don't know so "hard-wearing". Vollgummi- "full rubber" sounds daft- so solid rubber. Einfassung- for me has to be housing or body if we accept the "solid rubbber" bit. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs 18 mins (2003-11-26 16:02:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- widerstansfähig- robust? |

surrounds Explanation: The way I read it, the plastic has a metallic finish/appearance and is surrounded by rubber so it doesn't break if dropped. 'surround' as in 'frame' |
