A magazine particularly for jacketed magnetic disks (which may be termed “diskettes”) of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,668,658 and a lid fitting on a forward, sometimes open, end of the magazine. The lid has internal ribs for supporting weak side edges of the diskettes in the magazine particularly when the magazine is turned on its side, and the magazine has aligned internal bottom and top diskette supporting ribs. A swing connection is provided between the lid and the magazine adjacent the top of the magazine including L-shaped slots formed in side panels of the magazine extending from the forward edges thereof horizontally and then upwardly and a pair of pins carried by the lid and fitting in the L-shaped slots. The lid when placed on the magazine thus first moves horizontally but slanting forwardly and downwardly to first move the upper ends of its internal ribs between the diskettes and then upwardly and in swinging movement to close the magazine. The upper edge of the lid is chamfered to allow such swinging placement of the lid on the magazine. A U-shaped spring retainer releasably holds the lid closed.
