A case includes a base having a bottom wall, a peripheral side wall connected to the bottom wall, and a first inwardly extending retaining ledge connected to the upper end of the peripheral wall; a top cover having a top wall, a peripheral side wall connected to the top wall such that a cavity is defined in the case when the jewelry case is in a closed condition, and a second inwardly extending retaining ledge connected to the lower end of the peripheral wall of the top cover; a hinge which pivotally connects together the base and the top cover; and a fabric covering which covers inner surfaces of the top cover and the base, the fabric covering having edges retained under the first and second inwardly extending retaining ledges to retain the fabric covering in position without adhesive.
A folding photo case includes a pair of exterior case members coupled to each other by a first hinge and a pair of interior frame members coupled to respective exterior case members by respective second and third hinges. The first, second and third hinges are preferably torsion bar hinges with the first hinge biasing the exterior case members to an open position and the second and third springs biasing the interior frame members toward interior surfaces of the exterior case members. One or both of the exterior case members are preferably provided with a latch structure which allows the folding case to be latched in a closed position. The dimensions of the folding case are preferably such that the case can be carried in a pocket or purse when it is folded into the closed position.
