An improved venting and sealing assembly for a portable communication device is provided. The venting and sealing assembly is formed of a housing enclosure having a walled aperture with a bottom surface and an offset through-hole passing therethrough. A flexible substrate having a vent hole is coupled to the housing enclosure across the walled aperture such that the vent hole is offset from the offset through-hole. A breathable membrane is coupled across the vent hole of the flexible substrate. A rigid plate having an opening is coupled to the breathable membrane, the opening of the rigid plate being aligned with the vent hole of the flexible substrate. A closed-loop sealing rib is formed around the vent hole of the flexible substrate and/or upon the bottom surface of the walled aperture of the housing enclosure. The assembly provides a vent path and a self-sealing enclosure. 用于便携式通讯装置的通气和密封的设备和方法。提供了种用于便携式通讯装置的改进的通气和密封组件。所述通气和密封组件由具有带壁孔口的壳体罩形成，所述带壁孔口具有底表面和穿过所述底表面的偏移通孔。具有通气孔的柔性基板横跨所述带壁孔口联接到壳体罩，以便所述通气孔偏离所述偏移通孔
