ABSTRACT:
A storage case for holding approximately five compact discs (CDs) which is approximately equal in exterior dimensions to that of a standard jewel case of the type most widely used in the U.S. for holding a single CD. The invention addresses both a factory manufactured case, and components for modifying an existing standard CD jewel case. The rectangular case is properly dimensioned and shaped to cooperatively function with the most common currently available and widely used CD jewel case storage racks and boxes. The case includes rigidly structured top and bottom case halves hingedly attached to one another for allowing relative pivotal movement for opening and closing the case. A binder member removably snaps into the interior of the bottom half adjacent the hinge side. The binder member includes multiple extensions for retaining five preferably clear plastic flexible sleeves that retain a CD each. The sleeves include apertures along one edge for receipt and retention by the binder member extensions, and can be flipped through similar to pages of a book when the case is open. Insert card that describe the contents of the case are provided for identifying the contents of the case when closed and stored in a case storage device. The case allows five CDs to be stored in the space taken up by a typical single CD jewel case, thus allowing CD collections to be compressed to 1/5 their previous size.
