Abstract: A CD carrying case having a built-in pop up cover is disclosed. The case comprises a box-like base shell adapted to receive the compact disc and a cover shell sized to fit over the base shell and having a rear end hingely connected to a rear end of the base shell. The cover shell is pivotable between an open position away from the base shell for opening the case and a close position against the base shell for closing the case. The case further comprises a locking mechanism for releasasly locking the cover shell in the close position and at least one torsional spring element adapted to cooperate with the locking mechanism for biasingly popping up the cover shell in the open position as the locking mechanism is released. The case disclosed combines simplicity and inexpensiveness to manufacture with durability and trouble-free in operation.
