Abstract
An electronic device includes an enclosure and a number of screws. Each screw includes a bolt, a head, and a shock-absorbing gasket encircling the bolt. The gasket is made of flexible shock-absorbing material. A top surface and a bottom surface of the shock-absorbing gasket are both wave-shaped. The gasket defines a through hole in a center. A number of flexible protrusions extend from an inside wall of the gasket bounding the through hole. The protrusions press against the bolt of the screw.
