The easiest way to make a hinge is simply with a piece of tape. However, there's some technique to this:



First, don't use tape that splits easily, like packing tape. Your hinge will die quickly. The best tape to use is gaffer's tape--it's both thin and flexible, and it'll never get any adhesive residue on your cards. Electrical tape is ok, but it's a little stiff, and can cause the case to spread. However, with a tape case this color, you'll never get gaffer's tape to match, so clear electrical tape can be used. Or you can just trim wrong-color tape cleanly.



Second, don't just tape straight over the top wall of the cassette. The tape will want to stay straight and will push the two halves of the cassette case apart from each other. Instead, fold a little seam in the tape above the joint, and make sure the tape doesn't stick that well to the top edge of the wall. That way when the cassette case is closed, the tape will push inward and let the case close all the way.
