A case includes a case body, a lid, hinges supporting the lid on the case body and a waterproof seal placed on the joining surface of the case body. The lid can be turned for closing on the hinges so as to compress the waterproof seal perpendicularly to the joining surface of the case body. Each hinge is provided with a hinge pin having opposite cylindrical end parts and an offset middle part defining a groove together with the cylindrical end parts. The grooves of the hinges permit first knuckles formed integrally with the lid to sink therein so that the lid held with its joining surface parallel to the joining surface of the case body can be moved toward the case body perpendicularly to the joining surface of the case body to compress the waterproof seal perpendicularly between the joining surfaces of the lid and the case body. The hinge pin is restrained from coming off by the first knuckles when the first knuckles are engaged in the groove.
