Abstract: An accessory device with a button includes modifications and features to conceal internal features of the button as well as block light from passing through some locations of the button. The button may include several pillars and a compressible member between the pillars. The compressible member may conform to the shape of the pillars. In some exemplary implementations, the button may further include a seal that extends around the perimeter of the button to conceal internal features of the button. Additionally, the button may include extensions that further conceal internal components. Still further, the button may include an anti-reflective coating. Modifications to a sidewall may include a compressible member that inclines toward the button and/or an elevated lip used in conjunction with the extension of the button to conceal internal features.
