I've seen both in stores. DCC's have special tape cases, and MINI discs
have small plastic cases as well. They resemble the actual plastic CD
boxes more than the cardboard things. If you mean how are they going to
put these things up for display, I saw DCC in tape racks (though I'm not
sure if they were the same kind of tape rack as used for conventional
cassettes), and the MD's I saw were in a special display.
