A case comprising:

• a body at least partially defining an interior compartment, the body including a body tab extending therefrom;
• a lid pivotably coupled to the body and movable between an open position permitting access to the interior compartment and a closed position preventing access to the interior compartment, the lid including a lid tab extending therefrom, the lid tab being positioned adjacent the body tab when the lid is in the closed position;
• and
• a latch including (i) an upper component coupled to the lid tab, the upper component having a U-shape with a pair of upper engagement sections located at ends of the U-shape, (ii) a lower component configured to releasably couple to the body tab when the lid is in the closed position, the lower component having a U-shape with a pair of lower engagement sections located at ends of the U-shape, each of the pair of lower engagement sections engaging one of the pair of upper engagement sections, and (iii) a hinge pin pivotably coupling the lower component to the upper component.

A latch on a case, the latch comprising:

• a first component coupled to a first tab extending from the case, the first component including a plurality of first engagement sections, each of the plurality of first engagement sections having a first aperture formed therein;
• a second component including a plurality of second engagement sections, each of the plurality of second engagement sections having a second aperture formed therein, each of the plurality of first engagement sections being engaged with one of the plurality of second engagement sections such that the first and second apertures are aligned along a common axis;
• and
• a hinge pin positioned through the first and second apertures such that the second component is pivotable about the common axis,
• wherein (i) the case includes a body that defines an interior compartment and a lid pivotably coupled to the body to move between an open position permitting access to the interior compartment and a closed position preventing access to the interior compartment and (ii) the hinge pin is received in a groove formed in an exterior surface of the first tab both when the lid is in the open position and when the lid is in the closed position.
