ABSTRACT A storage container for a recording medium and related methods of manufacturing and assembling same are described. The storage container includes: a base; a recording medium holder having a compact disc clamp and being pivotally attached at a first end thereof to a first end of the base and the other end being a free end for movement relative to the base; a cover pivotally attached at a first end thereof to the first end of the base: and an actuator for moving the holder relative to the base. When the cover is lifted relative to the base, the actuator causes the holder to move from the first position to the second position and to automatically present the recording medium away from the base for facilitated removal and replacement. In one embodiment, the clamp can include two portions, one of which is a semicircular portion formed on the holder and the other of which is a raised semicircular portion formed on a tongue pivotally attached to the holder. The tongue is movable relative to the holder such that the raised portion is capable of engaging the compact disc aperture for storage or releasing the aperture for removal of the disc. The methods include at least the steps of: forming a base forming and pivotally attaching a recording medium holder at a first end thereof to a first end of the base and having its other end free for movement relative to the base; forming and pivotally attaching a cover at a first end thereof to the first end of the base; and forming an actuator to move the holder from the first position to the second position when the cover is raised.
