This storage media case has a base formed with a bottom wall sized and shaped
to receive a disc and with peripheral rim walls further defining the disc-receiving
portion of the base. Its lid is provided with its own set of rim walls that overlap
the rim walls on the base when the lid is closed and thereby help to protect the
disc from invasive contact. Mating hinge assemblies are formed at the back of both
the base and lid. These assemblies allow the hinge elements to be snapped together
with the lid registered over the base. The geometry of the base hinge assembly
allows expansion room for the hinge clevis members on the lid to spread apart and
snap over the hinge pins only when the lid is registered in a nearly closed position
over the base. When the lid is opened, its hinge devises move down into narrower
recesses in the base so that the base prevents the hinge devises from spreading.
