As can be seen inFIG. 7C , in some embodiments, therailway 704 and theaperture 706 may be connected in order to allow the features of an assembled slidingtab 702 to slide as shown inFIGS. 7A and 7B . - In some embodiments, one or both of the tab stops 708A, 708B of the assembled sliding
tab 702 may be shaped and positioned such that they remain within the confines of theaperture 706 when the slidingtab 702 slides to the left or to the right, thus limiting the horizontal movement of the sliding tab 702). Further, one or both of the tab stops 708A, 708B of the assembled slidingtab 702 may be shaped and positioned such that they limit the vertical movement of the sliding tab 702 (on at least the end of the slidingtab 702 with the tab stops 708A, 708B). One or both of therails tab 702 may be shaped and positioned such that at least part of one or more of therails railway 704, limiting the vertical movement of the sliding tab 702 (on at least the end of the slidingtab 702 opposite the tab stops 708A, 708B). In some embodiments, the placement of the tab stops 708A, 708B within the assembled slidingtab 702 may prevent the slidingtab 702 from sliding far enough to the left such that therails railway 704. - Skilled persons will recognize that the
railway 704 may take forms other than that of an aperture located in the display cover 700 (as illustrated inFIGS. 7A-7C ). For example, therailway 704 may instead be an additional feature that is built into thedisplay cover 700 that accepts one or more ofrails - The above description provides numerous specific details for a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, those of skill in the art will recognize that one or more of the specific details may be omitted or combined with those of another embodiment. Additionally, various methods, components, or materials may be used. In some cases, operations are not shown or described in detail.
