Abstract
An insert in a compact disc or laser disc case has a slot in the edge of the tray, through which a spring loaded clip protrudes. When a disc is inserted into the case the clip will be pushed against the low tension of a spring attached to the clip. When the clip is moved by the insertion of a disc a bright colored flag appears in a window in the case. When the disc is removed, the spring moves the flag so it is not visible, indicating that the case is empty.
