Abstract
A fabric assembly for an electronic device includes multiple fabric layers joined together at select locations. The fabric layers each include multiple indentations, or de-bosses. The fabric layers can be combined, or bonded, together at one or more respective indentations. As an example, the indentations can be bonded together through a welding operation, including radio frequency welding. When the fabric assembly is integrated with an electronic device, the fabric assembly permits passage of soundwaves therethrough. The indentations can be equally or unequally spaced throughout each fabric layer. When unequally spaced, the fabric assembly can be positioned over a component of an electronic device such that the locations with few or no indentations are positioned at a location corresponding to the component, thus allowing access to the component.
