Apparatus and associated methods relate to an electronic device enclosure having a water resistant property capable of withstanding a predetermined minimum displacement force. In an illustrative example, a pressed fit self-aligning device enclosure (PFSADE) may include a housing and a cover. The housing, for example, may include an opening configured to receive electronic components during an assembly processing. After the electronic components are installed, for example, the cover may be coupled to the housing to cover the opening. For example, the cover may include an edge surface around a perimeter of the cover and at least one self-aligning element (SAE) extending orthogonal to the edge surface. For example, the SAE may align the cover in a relative position to the housing, and to withstand a predetermined minimum displacement force threshold. Various embodiments may advantageously prevent leakage due to out of tolerance alignment between the housing and the cover.
