Devices having embedded structural features that permit assembly of such devices in a manner that design efficiencies and packaging efficiencies can be accomplished satisfactorily and substantially without mutual exclusivity. In one aspect, structure(s) associated with a functionality of user equipment can be leveraged in order to couple a front housing of the user equipment with a rear housing thereof. In another aspect, leveraging such structure can permit assembly of the user equipment in a manner that provides a seamless appearance of the user equipment and mechanical reliability and/or versatility.
