Therefore, consumers who want to rent or purchase a videotape must decide whether or not it is the desired videotape based on vague information such as the design of the cover, etc., rather than the detailed information on the recorded contents. In some cases, I borrowed or purchased a videotape against my wish. As described above, in the conventional case, not only is there a great inconvenience to consumers that the recorded contents cannot be sufficiently confirmed in advance, but also the consumer's willingness to purchase is not possible because he or she cannot correctly select a video tape that matches his wishes. There was also a big inconvenience for video producers that the sales of video tapes were influenced by the decline and the design of the cover.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make a front cover or a back cover of a case such as a video tape into a multiple structure so that information about the video tape and the like can be sufficiently displayed. It is to provide cases such as video tapes with multiple display surfaces on the cover.
