A protective cover for protecting a read side of an optical disk comprising:
- a substantially planar body being transparent and having a center hole, an outer edge and a generally planar annular surface extending between the outer edge and the center hole;
- and
- a circumferential engagement structure coupled to the outer edge of and substantially completely encircling the planar body for engaging an outer edge of the optical disk.
A protective cover for protecting a read side of an optical disk comprising:
- a generally planar body having a center hole, an outer edge and a generally planar annular surface extending between the outer edge and the center hole;
- and
- a circumferential engagement structure carried by the body and including a substantially upright sidewall extending substantially completely around the outer edge of the body.
An optical disk comprising:
- an outer edge;
- a center hole;
- a surface having a readable portion intermediate the outer edge and the center hole;
- a protruding ring projecting from the surface intermediate the center hole and the readable portion;
- and
- a protective cover removably covering the surface, the protective cover comprising:
- a generally planar body having a center hole, an outer edge and a generally planar annular surface extending between the outer edge and the center hole and corresponding to and covering the surface of the disk;
- and
- a circumferential engagement structure carried by the body and engaging the disk.
