An apparatus and method for shielding electromagnetic interference (EMI) for a disk drive includes a body portion for operatively securing to the disk drive. The body portion includes a flange portion. The flange portion includes a plurality of tab portions that substantially surround a perimeter portion of the body portion to allow a force applied to the body portion to deflect the plurality of tab portions and bias the plurality of tab portions against a contact surface to form a positive contact between the plurality of tab portions and the contact surface thereby shielding EMI.
