1. A method comprising:
providing a housing device comprising a first edge, second edge, third edge, and fourth edge, wherein the first edge comprises a curved portion, the second edge comprises a straight portion, the third edge comprises a curved portion, and the fourth edge comprises a straight portion,
the first edge is coupled to the second edge, the second edge is coupled to the third edge, the third edge is coupled to the fourth edge, and the fourth edge is coupled to the first edge, and the third edge is opposite to the first edge, and the fourth edge is opposite to the second edge;
positioning a pad region in the housing device, the pad region extending between a first pad edge, second pad edge, third pad edge, and fourth pad edge each corresponding with the first edge, the second edge, the third edge, and the fourth edge, respectively, wherein a length from the first pad edge to the third pad edge is less than a length from the first edge to the third edge, and a length from the second pad edge to the fourth pad edge is the same as a length from the second edge to the fourth edge,
wherein the pad region comprises a cushioning layer;
forming a cavity in the pad region of the housing device;
coupling a first light-reflective layer to the pad region;
overlapping an opening of the first light-reflective layer with at least a portion of the cavity;
coupling a translucent adhesive layer to the first light-reflective layer;
forming a channel that extends from the pad region of the housing device through an opening of the housing device, the channel having an axis that is transverse to the fourth edge of the housing device.
