      A library case is a box designed to hold a VHS tape. It is usually made of hard plastic but some (usually tapes containing feature films) are made of vinyl with padding inside. They may or may not have hubs inside to hold the tape spools in place. While this packaging was mainly used for VHS, smaller versions were sometimes used for audio cassettes.

          +1, these (or at least, something also called 'Library Case') were also used to hold pretty much any big audiobook on CD (lots of CDs).

          The CD cases look a bit different to the VHS cases linked in this ticket, but I still think it would be useful to be able to assign a packaging to all of these (be it VHS, cassette, or CD)

          I've seen them referred to as 'Album Case' as well.
