Tamper-designs are meant to make tampering to be visible.
That's why the tapes rip, the pigment comes off, and
all sorts of other stuff.

They put decals over screws sometimes, to mark when an item
has been opened.

Companies that are not nice, they glue the pieces of the shell
of the electronics together, so you have to use a hot knive, a
Dremel, to get at the inside of the item. My crappy HDMI screen
recorder is like that (an item that is already broken).
You cannot buy anything and hope it is fit for purpose.
