A book-like storage container includes a receptacle for removably receiving a videocassette or the like therein and includes top, bottom, left, right, and rear walls, each of which has surface dimensions. The receptacle includes a front opening. A panel assembly includes a first panel foldably connected to the bottom wall by a first hinge, a second panel foldably connected to the first panel by a second hinge, and a third panel foldably connected to the second panel by a third hinge. Each of the first, second and third panels has a first open position and a second closed position, and includes inside surface dimensions. The inside surface dimension of the first panel is substantially equal to the front opening. The inside surface dimension of the second panel is substantially equal to the surface dimension of the top wall, and the inside surface dimension of the third panel is substantially equal to the surface dimension of the rear wall. Each of the third panel and the rear wall has affixed thereto individual cooperating securement members. When the first, second and third panels are folded about their respective first, second and third hinges, for assuming the closed position, the first panel abuts and substantially closes the front opening, the second panel substantially overlies the top wall, and the third panel substantially overlies the rear wall so that the individual securement members are releasably locked for thereby securing the article in the receptacle.
