A slim storage casing able to hold two optical disks. The upper and the lower casing each have a central straddling respectively formed at the time of molding, such that two optical disks, using the-center hole of the optical disk, can be coupled to the central straddling at the upper and the lower casing respectively and stored in the storage casing. The upper and the lower casing according to the invention has a thickness of about 5 mm to 5.5 mm when coupled together.

A compact disc container includes a box defining a unitary space in which a tube projects upwardly from a bottom center thereof. A seat located around a lower outer end of the tube extends upwardly from a bottom surface of the box. The tube has a locking hole provided near a top thereof for a locking knob to engage and tighten thereto. More than one compact disc may be superimposed in the box around the tube with a lowermost compact disc supported on the seat without frictionally contacting the bottom surface of the box. The locking knob is tightened to the locking hole in the tube and locates the superimposed compact discs in the box. The unitary space of the box allows accommodation of more than one compact disc and effectively reduces costs otherwise needed for packing the compact discs individually.

A low-profile compact disk (CD) case includes pivotally connected top cover and bottom seat to provide an inner space for receiving a compact disk therein. The bottom seat is integrally formed on an inner surface with a central holding means and a plurality of protective means. The central holding means is a short hollow cylinder upward projected from the bottom seat and has spaced cuts along its circumferential wall to provide a plurality of flexible catch pawls for holding a compact disk in place. First and second protective means are low-raised ribs for supporting and preventing the compact disk from direct contact with the bottom seat, and the third protective means are raised curved ribs higher than the first and the second ribs and the compact disk for protecting the compact disk from compression by the top cover. No extra CD deck is required and an overall height or thickness and production costs of the CD case can therefore be largely reduced.
