ABSTRACT:
A case for a VTR micro cassette which fully protects the cassette against rough usage and prevents the user's fingers from touching the tape during withdrawal of the cassette from the case. The case is particularly adapted for cassettes having a rotatable cover member which is vulnerable to damage from an outside force. A shell of solid flexible material generally conforming to the cassette is provided with an opening in a side surface which corresponds to either of the side walls of the cassette but which cannot be the front surface which is covered by the rotatable cover member or the opposite rear wall. Preferably, the dimensions of the opening are made slightly greater than or equal to the corresponding outer dimensions of the side walls of the cassette while the inner dimensions in central portions and to the rear of the cassette are made slightly smaller than the outer dimensions of the cassette to retain the cassette positively in the case. An elastic retaining member can be provided to further positively retain the cassette in the casing.
