Rear loading media storage device

Abstract

A sheet secures at least one media or marketing material, such as a CD, onto the sheet for placement as a display or for sale. The sheet warns shoppers that a CD has been removed. The sheet has at least one flap extending through the center of the CD leaving the upper half visible. The flaps are formed with cut lines as a radial line, a band, a business card, or an artistic flap. Generally opposite the flap, one tab grips the CD. A baseline, also a cut line, extends about 1.5 times the thickness of the CD to each end of the cut line. A CD is inserted into the rear of the sheet below the tab and the flaps to secure it upon the panel. The cut line, flaps, and tab can be used singly or in multiples. The CD remains secured until a consumer breaks the flaps after purchase.

       13 . The media storage device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 said arrangement including at least two stylized bands and a curved baseline through the center of said arrangement, each of said bands extending from the baseline reaching beyond the perimeter of the media.   
   
   
       14 . The media storage device of  claim 2  wherein one band has a non-rectangular shape and at least two other bands extend from the baseline towards a juncture proximate the perimeter of said device. 
   
   
       15 . The media storage device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 one of said panels having a longitudinal opening thus forming a pocket.
