Abstract
A housing for storing a disc-shaped information carrier, for example a DVD. The housing is provided with a bottom part (1) with a retaining device (7) for the information carrier and a lid part (3) which is connected with hinging possibility to the bottom part. Two corner hinges form the connection here, which corner hinges comprise two recessed hinge arms (30) of the hinge part and two matching recessed hinge walls (36). The lid part is provided with protection walls (42) which extend at the outside of the housing substantially parallel to the hinge arms so as to protect the hinge arms from external mechanical influences.
