A front panel (82) of the holding case includes a closure lip (94) protruding outwardly along the top edge of the panel. An opening tab (96) is situated along the top of a rear panel (86) of the holding case. The tambour, which is slidingly positioned within the curved grooves, has an opening end (98) and a closing end (100). An inwardly-protruding stop (102) is located below the edge of the closing end of the tambour, while a handle (104) is situated below the edge of the closing end on the exterior portion of the tambour.
