A storage case assembly comprising:
- a first member comprising at least one male hinge member and at least one female hinge member;
- a second member comprising at least one male hinge member and at least one female hinge member;
- and
- at least one latch member that connects the first member and the second member, wherein:
- the at least one latch member comprises a first column at a first lateral edge, a second column at a second lateral edge, an unlocked configuration, and a locked configuration;
- the at least one latch member moves from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration in response to pressure applied to a surface causing the at least one latch member to deflect between the first column and the second column;
- the at least one male hinge member of the first member and the at least one male hinge member of the second member each is disposed concentrically within the respective female hinge member such that each male hinge member acts as a hinge axis for the respective female hinge member;
- and
- the first member and the second member are identical.

- a second member comprising at least one male hinge member and at least one female hinge member;
- and
- at least one latch member that connects the first member and the second member, wherein:
- the at least one latch member comprises a panel portion, an upper edge, a lower edge, an unlocked configuration, and a locked configuration;
- the at least one latch member moves from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration in response to pushing the panel portion causing the at least one latch member to deflect inwardly;
- the at least one latch member moves from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration in response to pulling at least one of the upper edge and the lower edge causing the at least one latch member to deflect outwardly;
- the at least one male hinge member of the first member engages with the at least one female hinge member of the second member;
- the at least one male hinge member of the second member engages with the at least one female hinge member of the first member;
- and
