A complimentary recess  218  is located about the outer periphery  214  of the lid  202 . When the lid  202  is closed upon the record case housing  200 , the raised lip  216  is slidably received within the complimentary recess  218 . This provides a secure fit between the record case housing  200  and the lid  202 . Of course, the raised lip  216  may be placed about the outer periphery of the lid  202 , and the complimentary recess  218  is placed about the outer periphery of the record case housing  200 , without departing from the scope of this disclosure, or from the following claims. 
     The invention being thus described, it will be evident that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
