Abstract

A storage case for small format memory cards is taught which utilizes those sections of known and existing computer furniture specifically designed to receive compact disc jewel cases to thereby allow for more reliable storage of small format memory cards. The storage case includes a compact disc jewel case without a disc retaining mechanism therein. A foam insert resides within the compact disc jewel case and has at least one precut cut-out section therein which is removable to provide at least one space in the foam insert to receive a small format memory card. The jewel case is preferably formed from a clear plastic material and there is preferably an insert sheet adapted to be retained proximate to a front wall of the jewel case. The insert sheet includes at least one punch-out section therein which corresponds to and aligns with the at least one precut cut-out section in the foam insert when the jewel case is closed thereby allowing a user to view and read the label on any small format memory cards residing in the CD jewel case without opening the case.
