According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of slide assemblies for slidably opening and closing portable communications terminals, which also are configured to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for electronic components of a substrate, such as board-mounted electronic components on a printed circuit board (PCB) of a cellular phone, etc. In one exemplary embodiment, a slide assembly generally includes first and second slide members slidably coupled so as to allow the first slide member to be slidably moved relative to the second slide member. EMI shielding structure is along at least one surface of at least one of the first and second slide members. The EMI shielding structure and the at least one of the first and second slide members are operable for cooperatively providing EMI shielding for one or more board-mounted electronic components of a substrate when disposed within the interior cooperatively defined by the EMI shielding structure, the at least one of the first and second slide members, and the substrate.
