Patent ID: 7549533

Claim:
A case for storing an optical storage disc, being made by injection-molding as one-piece and comprising: a spine; a front cover having a front upper edge, a front lower edge, a front closure edge and a front spine edge, said front cover being coupled to said spine via a first live hinge along at least a portion of said front spine edge; a back cover having a back upper edge, a back lower edge, a back closure edge and a back spine edge, said back cover being coupled to said spine via a second live hinge along at least a portion of said back spine edge; a disc mounting structure positioned on an inner surface of said back cover, the disc mounting structure being positioned closer to said back lower edge than to said back upper edge; and a sleeve attached to opposite ends of the front cover and the back cover adjacent the respective closure edges and configured to retain a title and credits page between the sleeve and the spine, and front and back covers of the case when the case is in a closed configuration; wherein the sleeve surrounds and covers major portions of the spine, the front cover and the back cover; wherein the sleeve is set back from the front and back upper edges of the front and back covers such that the setback defines a title band on an upper portion of the case for showing a symbol or text; wherein the portion of the front cover that is covered by the sleeve includes clips configured to retain a booklet within the interior of the case when the case is in a closed configuration; wherein the front cover further includes upper and lower guide walls that extend into the interior of the case when the case is in a closed configuration and that are configured to guide placement of a booklet into the clips so that the booklet does not encroach into the title band; wherein the positioning of the disk mounting structure on the inner surface of the back cover closer to said back lower edge than to said back upper edge provides a mounting space on the inner surface of the back cover for mounting an EAS tag, where the mounting space is located above the disk mounting structure and a distance below the back upper edge of the back cover that is greater than the setback of the sleeve from the back upper edge of the back cover; and wherein the mounting space is located such that an EAS tag mounted in the space does not encroach into the title band.
