Abstract
A storage container for a disc-shaped item of recorded media includes a hub that holds the disc-shaped item of recorded media by engaging the portion of the disc-shaped item of recorded media immediately adjacent the centrally-disposed opening of the disc-shaped item of recorded media. The hub includes three fingers that each include a holding projection that snap fits over the top of the disc-shaped item of recorded media. The container includes a ring that surrounds the hub so that the bottom of the disc-shaped item of recorded media does not engage the storage container. The outer circumference of the disc-shaped item of recorded media is supported by a circumferential ledge.
