    Abstract: An outdoors consumer electronics device such as a camera contains electrical equipment this is isolated from exterior moisture. The consumer electronics device includes a housing configured to contain the electrical equipment, a seal mounted to the housing, and a cover that is releasably installable onto the housing. The seal includes a top surface that forms an inclined plane related to a bottom plane extending through the bottom edges of the seal. When the cover is installed onto the housing, the seal is compressed along a planar surface. Once the seal is compressed, moisture is prevented from entering the interior of the housing. While the seal that is formed when the cover is mounted to the housing is planar, the sealed area is non-planar.
