the face towards the inserted clips. This picture is a one-handed demonstration, applying a
squeezing pressure between my thumb and middle finger and a downwards pressure with my index

As a further step, consider placing a line of tape around the face-body joint. The locking clip
design was made with printing in mind, and does have some play here.
## Installation
You may either mount the SuperSensor by its USB plug (as with a bare board design), or by attaching
a mounting piece to the case. Enjoy your newly-enclosed SuperSensor with diffused status LEDs!
