Mounting styles can vary by case, but these steps can help you get a clean, secure hang.

1. Confirm mounting method: Check the product page/manual for keyholes, D-rings, brackets, or a French cleat, and whether hardware is included.
2. Find studs and plan height: Use a stud finder and a level. If no stud is available, consider anchors rated for the case’s weight.
3. Measure and mark: Mark hole locations, double-check spacing, and pre-drill as needed.
4. Install hardware: Attach the wall hardware (or cleat) and any case-side hardware.
5. Hang and level: Lift the case into place; a second person can help with heavier pieces.
6. Test load gently: Add items gradually and verify stability.

Wall types and hardware differ, so it’s best to follow the case’s instructions for the most accurate guidance.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there’s a general distinction:

• Display case: Usually a protective cabinet or frame (often wall-mounted) with a clear front to organize and protect items like jerseys, trading cards, shot glasses, or collectibles.
• Showcase: Often refers to larger, presentation-style units—freestanding or store-style fixtures—designed to highlight items with more visibility and sometimes lighting.

On this page, you’ll mostly see wall-mounted display cases and shadow boxes with features like lockable doors, adjustable or removable shelves, and UV-protective panels. Product listings on Walmart.com describe the format and features so you can choose what fits your space.

You’ll see a few common names on Walmart.com, depending on what they’re built for:

• Shadow box or display cabinet (general collectibles)
• Jersey frame or jersey display case (sports shirts)
• Trading card display frame (standard or graded cards)
• Shot glass holder or curio case
• Diecast car display (often for 1/64 cars)
• Minifigure display case or pin display
• Flag display case or book display case

Names can vary by seller, but the product details (dimensions, shelf layout, door type) help you match the case to your collection.

If you enjoy DIY, here’s a high-level approach. It’s a general guide—materials, tools, and results can vary.

1. Plan the layout: Measure your items and sketch internal dimensions, shelf spacing, and door clearance.
2. Choose materials: Plywood or solid wood for the frame/back; clear acrylic or glass for the door panel.
3. Build the frame: Cut and assemble a box, add a sturdy backing, and sand edges.
4. Add shelves: Fixed or adjustable, sized to your collectibles.
5. Install the door: Fit acrylic/glass into a door frame, add hinges and a magnetic catch or lock.
6. Mounting hardware: Attach D-rings or a French cleat rated for the total weight.

Work carefully, follow tool safety guidelines, and consider a ready-made case if you prefer a quicker option.

Acrylic can scratch or haze, so gentle care goes a long way.

1. Remove items first: Set collectibles aside to avoid accidental drops or splashes.
2. Dust softly: Use a clean microfiber cloth or a soft brush to lift dust.
3. Wash gently: Wipe with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap; rinse with clean water.
4. Avoid harsh cleaners: Skip ammonia or alcohol-based glass cleaners and abrasive pads—they can cause scratching or clouding.
5. Dry and de-static: Pat dry with a microfiber cloth. A plastic-safe, anti-static cleaner labeled for acrylic can help reduce dust buildup.

For hinges or locks, spot-clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly to help prevent residue.
