Abstract

A device for mounting a compact disc case on a wall or other surface. The compact disc case is held securely in a mounting area within the device using opposing retainers on both the top and bottom of the device. This design allows the user to view the entire front cover of the compact disc case when mounted in the device, and allows for the removal and replacement of the compact disc case as necessary. The device may be used individually or it may be joined to other such devices using interlocking connectors.
