Abstract

A living hinge connects the top to the container, the top and container being of monolithic, one-piece construction. The case includes three recessed sides having a groove formed in these sides to further simulate a cassette storage box, the groove having the appearance of separating the box into two halves. The container may be decoratively imprinted with designs, logos, etc. on three sides to complete the video storage case simulation.
