Abstract
An ear-wearable electronic device is housed within a shell. The shell includes an organically-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of a user of the ear-wearable device. The shell also has a faceplate void that has a curved and beveled perimeter edge. The faceplate void facilitates access to one or more devices installable into the shell. A faceplate is installed in the faceplate void. The faceplate has a beveled edge that mates with the perimeter edge. The faceplate includes an unbroken covering surface that matches the outer surface of the shell surrounding the faceplate void.
