Abstract

A case is provided for storing and displaying articles. The case includes a substantially planar base and a substantially planar cover having a similar shape to that of the base and adapted for connection to the base to form an assembly. A peripheral connector is provided for connecting the cover to the base about the respective peripheries thereof, and a central connector is provided for connecting the cover to the base about the respective centers thereof. In a particular embodiment, the peripheral connector and the central connector define an annulus there between when the cover is connected to the base for storing and displaying articles. The case may be adapted for use in a compact disc jewel box having a square base and a square cover hinged to the base.
