The following specification discloses a magnetic disk storage case that can be used for such disks, as well as other magnetic memory materials common to computers and word processing. The storage case is formed from a single molded piece of plastic, such as polypropylene in the form of a clamshell or book-like case, having a top and bottom cover. The top cover receives a support ledge having flexible barriers thereon to maintain the magnetic materials stored therebehind on the ledge. The bottom of the case receives the ledge and the magnetic disks therein within a surrounding wall. The entire top cover with the ledge and the disks therein can be accessed by means of a resilient living hinge that allows for the lid to be opened into a clamshell configuration and supported against a stop member, against one of the edge walls, or by means of a channeled arcuate groove in combination with a pin that functions therewith.

A container for magnetic storage material such as disks, magnetic cards and the like comprising: a clamshell-like opening and closing container having a bottom portion which generally provides a base and a receptacle for a top portion of said clamshell container which has been hinged thereto and which has a ledge within said top portion of said container for receipt of magnetic memory storage members between the ledge and the inner surface of said container; means for resiliently hinging said bottom and top member formed from a continuous hinge member between said top and bottom member; means for holding said top member open in a resting mode on said bottom member for exposure and access of magnetic storage members resting on said ledge between said top member and said ledge comprising a protuberance which can engage the bottom portion with respect to said top member; resilient side walls at least partially surrounding said bottom portion into which said top portion is received of sufficient resilience to allow said protuberance to override its engagement by flexing laterally to permit such disengagement; and, lateral walls on either side of said top portion in proximate relationship to said ledge for capturing magnetic memory members between said lateral walls, said ledge and said inner surface of said top member.
