Top 5 Clamshell Cases That Live In My Head
A clamshell case makes an entrance. It is too big for the shelf, impossible to stack politely, and loud enough to wake the house when it snaps shut. In other words: perfect.
My personal hall of fame starts with the white Disney clamshell, moves through the translucent rental-store bruisers, and ends with any case that has yellowed just enough to look like an artifact from a friendlier planet.
The ranking changes whenever I find a new one in the wild. The only firm rule is that a good clamshell should feel faintly indestructible and take up at least twice the space it needs.
