encased
Wrapped up tight
Encased means enclosed or surrounded by a covering, shell, or outer layer.
Something encased is contained within a protective or decorative exterior: The wires were encased in plastic tubing, a diamond encased in gold.
The word often suggests complete surrounding rather than partial coverage: His leg was encased in a plaster cast.
