jewel case

Diamond storage container

A jewel case is the standard plastic case for compact discs, with a hinged lid and slots for holding the disc and a paper insert.

The name comes from its resemblance to cases for storing jewelry.

The jewel case cracked when I dropped it.

Despite digital music's rise, the term persists for any similar CD packaging.
