ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a container for at least one information carrier, particularly for CDs. Each information carrier has opposed major surfaces substantially defining a plane therebetween, and also has an outer edge which includes perimeter portions of both the major surfaces. The container comprises a first cover portion and a second cover portion rotatable relative to the first cover portion between a closed position and an open position. When the second cover portion is in the closed position, the first and second cover portions define a substantially enclosed information carrier storage volume. At least one information carrier holder is disposed within this storage volume, the holder comprising clamping elements on either side of a slot. The slot is capable of receiving a portion of the edge of the information carrier, so that the clamping elements releasably grip the information carrier along each of its major surfaces. Thus, the information carrier is removable from the slot when the cover portion is in the open portion by applying a force substantially along the plane of the information carrier.
