Abstract
An injection molded DVD case includes a spine, a front cover coupled to the spine via a first living hinge, and a back cover coupled to the spine via a second living hinge. The case, when in a closed configuration, has generally semi-cylindrical rimwalls, including upper and lower rimwalls, a spine rimwall, and a closure rimwall, which intersect in generally quarter-spherical corners. The generally semi-cylindrical rimwalls have been flattened slightly to prevent multiple closed cases that are being pushed down an assembly line from climbing over one another. The new DVD case has an off-center disk mounting hub so that the disk cannot be seen through a transparent title band at the top of the case and also to leave room for the attachment of an EAS tag inside the case. The case also incorporates significant anti-theft features.
