plastic case

Polymer protective enclosure

A plastic case is a rigid or semi-rigid container made of plastic, used to protect or organize items.

The term covers everything from phone cases to storage bins to the clamshell packaging around electronics: The drill came in a plastic case with foam inserts.

Unlike bags or pouches, a case implies structure—it holds its shape.
