Abstract
Aspects of sealing of an enclosure are described. In some examples, an enclosure includes a first enclosure piece with a first edge. The first edge includes a first set of edge features. A second enclosure piece with a second edge includes a second set of edge features configured to interlock with the first set of edge features. When the first set of edge features interlock with the second set of edge features, a first projecting feature in the first edge overlaps a gap between a second projecting feature and a third projecting in the second edge.
