PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage case for a disk cartridge which is integrally provided with a locking means for holding the disk cartridge to a case body in a locking state, enhancing the reliability of the locking function of the locking means. SOLUTION: The case body 11 is formed into a book case shape with its front opened as an inlet/outlet port 12. A locking tool 13 for holding the disk cartridge D to the inner face of a lateral side wall 9 in the locking state is integrally molded in the case body 11. The locking tool 13 comprises a main spring arm 16 extending from the lateral side wall 9 to the rear side of the case and an engaging part 17 provided at the connecting end of the main spring arm 16. An auxiliary arm 15 is integrally provided to the inner face of the lateral side wall 9, to compensate a shortage in elasticity of the main spring arm 16, thereby obtaining a locking means for allowing the engaging part 17 of the main spring arm 16 to be elastically engaged with the recess 5 on the disk cartridge D side for a long period of time.
