Claim:
1. A method comprising providing dielectric material within one or more recessed portions along an inner surface of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, the inner surface defined by a piece of material, wherein the method includes: creating the one or more recessed portions in the piece of material before providing the dielectric material within the one or more recessed portions along the inner surface of the shield; stamping a flat pattern partial profile into the piece of material after creating the one or more recessed portions in the piece of material, whereby the flat pattern partial profile includes a cover and one or more sidewalls of the shield; and forming the stamped piece of material by bending, folding, or drawing portions of the stamped piece of material that define the one or more sidewalls; whereby the one or more recessed portions provide at least one of increased under-shield space and greater clearance for one or more components under the shield, and whereby the dielectric material inhibits the one or more recessed portions of the shield from directly contacting and electrically shorting one or more components when the one or more components are under the shield.
