Abstract: A CD case in the form of a hinged clamshell is provided with a transparent display window central to one surface of the case, with the case being provided with CD holders within the case mounted in such a way that the central portion of the CD is exposed through the transparent central window. The CD case permits the display of indicia on the CD contained therein through the window, or in an alternative embodiment a centrally apertured pocket is placed between the CD case window and the interior of the case, with the pocket being adapted to house indicia-carrying inserts for displaying the indicia through the central CD case window. In one embodiment, scratching of the window is minimized through the utilization of a piping detail around the periphery the window which spaces the exterior surface of the case from the exterior surface of the window, thus providing protection for the window.
