Abstract

A video cassette storage container comprises a transparent enclosure having upper, lower and sidewall surfaces, and top and bottom ends, wherein the top end is enclosed and the bottom end is open to receive a video cassette for storage. A tab, pivotably connected to the upper surface of the enclosure, has a perpendicular end portion that partially encloses the bottom end for retaining a video cassette in the enclosure. The tab is pivoted open manually to release the video cassette for removal from the bottom end of the enclosure. A graphics sleeve retaining member formed within the enclosure retains a graphics sleeve at the bottom end, and a door hinged to the upper end of the enclosure is opened manually for receiving the sleeve and cassette.
