Interlocking emi shield

An electromagnetic interference shield, comprising:

• a first cover placed over first electrical components, wherein the first cover comprises a first snap extending from a periphery of the first cover;
• and
• a second cover placed over second electrical components, the second cover comprising a second snap extending from a periphery of the second cover, wherein the distance between the periphery of the first cover and the periphery of the second cover is less than the sum of the thickness of the first snap and the thickness of the second snap.

An electromagnetic interference shield for use in an electronic device, comprising:

• a frame coupled to a circuit board of the electronic device, the frame comprising a wall extending substantially perpendicular to the circuit board;
• and
• a cover comprising a plurality of staggered snaps operative to engage the wall, the plurality of staggered snaps spaced to receive a snap from a cover of an adjacent electromagnetic shield between two adjacent snaps of the plurality of staggered snaps.
