A semi permanent enclosure for an optical data storage device has a first film dimensioned to overlie the read surface of the optical data storage device and a second film dimensioned to overlie the non-read surface of the optical data storage device. The enclosure includes a rim arrangement having an L-shaped cross-section extending around the periphery of the optical data storage device. The first film may have an optical couplant on the surface thereof destined for attachment to the optical data storage device. The optical couplant preferably has a refractive index compatible with that of the optical data storage device to minimize losses and distortion of signals. The optical couplant may also be used with the second film.

[ What is claimed is:] [5.]5. An enclosure for an optical storage device having a read surface of a prescribed refractive index, a non-read surface and a peripheral edge surface, comprising:a first planar transparent film having a planar surface dimensioned to overlie the read surface of the optical data storage device;a second planar transparent film having a planar surface dimensioned to overlie the non-read surface of the optical data storage device; andfirst and second rims;the first rim having a first leg on the planar surface of the first film and a second leg positioned to overlie at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface of the optical storage device; andthe second rim having a first leg on the planar surface of the second film and a second leg positioned to overlie at least a portion of the peripheral edge surface of the optical storage device.
