An apparatus for housing an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
- a top member including a front surface surrounded by a perimeter portion, the perimeter portion defined by a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and opposing side portions, the top member further including a first clasping mechanism;
- a bottom member including an inner surface and a back surface, the bottom member further including a perimeter portion surrounding the inner surface and the back surface, the perimeter portion having a wall including a second clasping mechanism, wherein the second clasping mechanism includes a receptacle configured to receive at least a portion of the first clasping mechanism of the top member within a portion of the receptacle to maintain the top member and the bottom member removably coupled together;
- and
- a compressible gasket seated in a channel in either the top member or the bottom member, the compressible gasket to seal between the top member and the bottom member when the bottom member is coupled to the top member.
