Abstract
Certain exemplary aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards an apparatus in which a base deck and a cover are coupled to one another via a coupling that forms a hermetic seal around a cavity defined by the base deck and the cover. A guard protects the coupling from external forces via a surface aligned with and extending along the coupling.
