A cradle is provided for a handheld communications device ( 106 ). The cradle is comprised of a rigid structure ( 160 ), a latch actuator ( 302 ), a latch ( 300 ), an engagement face ( 514 ), and a resilient member ( 304, 304 - 1, 304 - 2 ). The rigid structure defines a compartment ( 202 ) for receiving the device. The compartment is comprised of an aperture and a sidewall structure ( 314 ). The latch actuator is comprised of a first end portion ( 716 ) and a second end portion ( 720 ). The latch actuator is movable in a sliding motion aligned with the sidewall between a first position and a second position. The latch is pivotally mounted to the first end portion of the latch actuator. The resilient member resiliently biases the latch actuator in a first position. The latch actuator is engaged when the device is inserted into the compartment and pushed down such that a force is applied to the latch actuator causing the latch to be moved to a second position where it engages the device.
