ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a protective sheath for receiving elongated items. The protective sheath includes first and second elongated substrates connected to one another about at least one living hinge. The first and second elongated substrates are moveable relative to one another between an open configuration wherein the first and second substrates are positioned substantially side by side adjacent to one another and a closed configuration wherein the first and second substrates at least partially overlying one another. The protective sheath also includes a first flap attached to the first substrate along an edge. The first flap is resiliently biased into a position overlying the first substrate and operable to engage the second substrate when the first and second substrates are in the closed configuration.
