Abstract:
1. A security device for preventing opening of a media case that has two halves that are hinged together at one side of the case so that the case may be opened and closed, and which case has on the side thereof opposite its hinged side an elongated lock and/or finger cavity that is spaced inwardly from opposite ends of the case, the security device comprising: a pair of closure members hinged together for movement of the closure members between open and closed positions; the closure members in their closed position together defining an elongated aperture for receiving a media case to be secured with a close fit; the elongated aperture having two opposite, open ends adapted to allow the media case to project through both open ends of the elongated aperture; a latch for locking the closure members in their closed position; the latch adapted to secure the closure members in the closed position until unlocked with a key; and the closure members defining a protrusion that projects into the elongated aperture of the closure members where the protrusion is positioned to project into the elongated lock and/or finger cavity of the media case, whereby the closure members may be closed around a middle region of the media case when closed with the protrusion projecting into the elongated lock and/or finger cavity to prevent the security device from being slid off the media case.
