ABSTRACT:
A protective case for a disc-shaped data carrier (4) having a circular profile, the protective case having a bottom plate (1) and a top plate (2) that between them enclose a holding space bounded by lateral walls (3) provided for holding the data carrier (4), with the data carrier (4) being accessible via an insertion slot (6) in an end face of the protective case. Guides (5) are provided in the lateral walls (3) which support the data carrier (4) spaced a distance from the bottom plate (1). A recess or cut-out (10), which opens at the end face containing the insertion slot (6), is provided in the top plate (2) to facilitate grasping the data carrier (4). The invention provides an improved protective case of the type described above which can accommodate inserts, such as booklets, by providing interruptions (11) in the guides (5) in the lateral walls (3) adjacent the insertion slot (6) on both sides. The interruptions (11) are located in an area immediately behind the edge of the insertion slot (6) and provide access for inserting a booklet or other insert into the space (12) between the guide (5) and the bottom plate.
