A storage case for protectively containing media discs, such as DVDs and CDs, provides a disc holder for releasably holding the media discs in the interior of the case between top and bottom hinged cover members. The disc holder includes a centrally disposed disc retainer having flexible fingers with barbed distal ends for engaging the upper surface of the media disc proximate a central opening thereof. Arm members extend between the fingers and a pair of diametrically opposed tabs, wherein application of a radially inward directed force to the tabs, using the thumb and one other finger of the same hand, serves to urge the fingers to a compressed position so that the barbed distal ends are freed from the disc. Sloped shoulders at the juncture of the arm members and the respective pair of tabs urge the disc upwardly and into the grasp of the users thumb and other finger, upon application of the radially inward directed force to the tabs, thereby releasing the disc from the holder and directly into the grasp of the user with the use of just two fingers of one hand.
