A casing structure is provided which is optimum in assembling and maintenance performance and which is less likely to become disengaged and detached on falling down. An information terminal includes: a front side casing member including in turn a section for clamping on each of two opposite top and bottom sides or on each of two opposite left and right sides of the information terminal when seen from a front side of the terminal, the sections for clamping extending along directions of the opposite sides; a back side casing member including another section for clamping corresponding to the section for clamping of a front side casing member, the back side casing member accommodating an inner structure of the information terminal in conjunction with the front side casing member; a pair of frame members, each frame member holding the section for clamping of the front side casing member and the other section for clamping of the back side casing member together in a clamped state; a first lock mechanism that, after thrusting the frame members onto the section for clamping and the other section for clamping, performs locking when the frame members are slid in a direction along the opposite sides; and a second lock mechanism that suppresses movement of the frame members following the locking.
