A kit and method of using the same to allow the repair of a compact disc case after one or both of the "ears" that form the hinges breaks off is disclosed. The kit involves a piece of flexible adhesive backed material that can be placed on the case after both the protrusions are snapped off to form a new hinge. Thus the case can still be used, albeit with a new hinge line, the snapping off of both the protrusions allowing for the members that carry them to pass over the sides of the bottom portion of the case.
