If I Designed Blu-Ray/DVD/Video Game Cases
I’ve always ALWAYS wanted a case that would open at the spine. This way I can grab the movie or video game disc, and just leave the case parked on the shelf with the rest of my library.
I think a static design would work, wherein the disc holder is just attached to the spine. However I went the extra distance and created a ramp and slider system, so the disc could roll towards you. It’s a bit more clearance from the case, and having this extension mechanic just exclaims “Here is your movie/video game, enjoy!”
This can co-exist with the existing jewel case system that opens like a book, should you need to get at the booklet, or prefer to get at the disc old-school style.
Not only is this handy for those who own many films/video games, but it really keeps things neat and organized.
I think this could be a system people would upgrade all their cases to in a wholesale fashion. As long as they recycle their old cases!

Arrested Development Bluth-Ray Case
This Blu-Ray case design features a bunch of discs that swing out from inside the truck. Looking back at this design, it’s probably a bit too complicated to remove discs. Still it would look nice on your shelf!

Star Trek View Screen TV
Several months ago I designed a ‘Star Trek View Screen‘ gadget that would accommodate any LCD monitor or TV. Then I recently thought this feature could be directly embedded into the LCD monitor itself. And voila.
Wouldn’t be too hard to make a matching remote…
Ideally, you could switch the lights off as they might get distracting. I also wouldn’t mind having those BING sound effects included as an option too.
This idea just seems well, logical (pardon the pun).
In my lifetime I have seen many brands stamped onto products, most notably with cars. We recently had a Call of Duty Black Ops Jeep. A few years back, Ford issued Eddie Bauer SUV’s. After a brief hiatus, Ford has resumed issuing Harley Davidson trucks this year. Yes you read right, Harley Davidson trucks.
Other memorable offerings: Whistler/Blackcomb edition Chevy trucks (a ski resort?), as well as GM offering Olympic-styled vehicles (with vomit-inducing gold hubcaps) during Calgary ’88. Blech.
So why not a Star Trek-branded TV or monitor? It’s a seamless fit. Samsung, Sony, LG, anyone - please make it.

Transformers Trilogy Blu-Ray Case
This is a pretty fun case design that transforms from a standard box set into Optimus Prime’s trailer. Now that’s putting the fun in functional. Okay I’ll stop.
You can access the blu-ray cases in both forms, and even better they can remain inside the case during transformation:
When in box form it should blend-in with your DVD library like a normal box set. In trailer form it would be compatible with a Leader-Class Optimus Prime.
All of the accessories (trailer hitch and “thingy that plugs in the front of the trailer”) would store inside the case. Originally I had the front “thingy” be a transforming Roller figure but I lost all the original files for that guy.
I feel this would be a fun package that would appeal to Transformer collectors, and would also offer incentive for a blu-ray fan to grab an Optimus Prime figure (and vice versa). Also I might be mistaken, but Hasbro has been reluctant to release a trailer for Leader-Class Primes, so this item could fill that void.

It’s a very nice .PNG format, you could easily make your own poster if you want. But if you try to sell this on Etsy I will cut you.
Speaking of posters:
You can grab this baby and hang it in your office. Click the image or here for more information.
I also made this Charles Mulligan’s poster too. The only large high-res poster available. Click here to grab one.

Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-Ray Case
Here is blu-ray case design for Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Three CD-sized jewel cases are enclosed inside the Tumbler, which opens in similar fashion to the real-life Batmobile. This case would be on the larger side, about 12 inches long and 5 inches tall.
I imagine with some effort this could also be made into a functioning toy that scales with 3.75″ or 6″ figures, if Batfans needed further incentive to grab such a blu-ray case.
