1. An electronic-speaker device comprising:
a housing part forming a shell having opposing exterior and interior surfaces and at least one opening;
a textile reversibly assembled to the housing part effective to cover the exterior surface of the housing part and wrap around edges of the at least one opening;
a plurality of mechanical attachment features configured for reversible assembly of the textile to the housing part; and
a plurality of textile features configured to removably attach the textile to the plurality of mechanical attachment features to align and secure the textile to the housing part with a tension force sufficient to reduce acoustic distortion resulting from a vibration of the textile when exposed to acoustic pressure.
