An annular protective rim attachment designed to grip the outer peripheral edge of compact discs and digital video discs, consisting of a flexible, flat top rim, the inner periphery of which is molded to form an upper lip, lower lip, and between these lips, a gripping mouth to securely hold the CD or DVD inside the aperture of said ring. A selected zeolite catalyst is used in the method. The washers are intended to reduce friction of the hinge’s parts against each other when the male part is being pivoted on the female part, thus effectively increasing the smoothness of pivotal movement of the male part when in use. To release the butterfly clip, an opposing pressure is applied so that the clip sections move away from the body section.
