A tape cartridge includes a front lid rotatably mounted to a casing for closing a tape loading space thereof, a back lid rotatably mounted to the front lid and including a hood for closing a back-lid opening of the casing and a leg for protecting the back of a magnetic tape positioned in the tape lading space of the casing, an inclined face arranged on the upper side of the hood of the back lid to be adjacent to the casing, and a device for controlling a posture of the back lid. In the state of closing the back-lid opening of the casing, the inclined face gradually increases in level difference with respect to the upper side of the casing toward the casing.
