With a knife, cut the box at its exact measures so the switch's screen is visible through the other side.

Tape That Sucker Down!

Once cut, get the switch behind the shoebox and put the screen in the hole. Start taping it left and right and top to bottom. Make sure it can hold on its own for 30 seconds.
