A security device includes a case having a bottom open end to receive merchandise, a top surface, two opposing ends and two opposing sidewall surfaces; at least one tab protruding from the case; and a locking mechanism for maintaining the received merchandise in the case. The locking mechanism includes a base housing including at least one slot to receive and retain the tab to help secure the case to the locking mechanism, at least one flange extending from the base housing to overlie at least one surface of the case, and a movable member. The moveable member (i) maintains the received merchandise in the case by blocking the front of the bottom open end and securing the tab in the slot when the locking mechanism is closed and (ii) disengages from the front of the bottom open end when the locking mechanism is open allowing the tab to become fully separated from the slot and the locking mechanism to become fully separated from the case. A decoupler is provided for opening the locking mechanism.
