Methods, systems, and devices are described securing component pieces together through a clip that may securely engage with the component pieces. The clip may include a body portion opposite end portions that extend away from a medial portion. One of the end portions may be joined to a securement feature of a first component piece and include a number of cantilevered beams that extend away from the medial portion and engage the securement feature of the first component piece. Similarly, the other end portion may be joined to a securement feature of a second component piece, and also include a number of cantilevered beams that extend away from the medial portion and engage the securement feature of the second component piece. The oppositely extending cantilevered beams may act to secure the clip from being removed from the respective component piece, and thereby securely fasten the two component pieces together.
