This is the f'n coolest. I 'm so sick of seeing some of the region 2 DVD cover art being cooler than the region one stuff. I have also been creating my own replacement covers. AWESOME Site!

These are sweet. Too bad Fox is an asshole for pushing the sites around.

But how do you put ones on DVDs that dont have a plastic thing on the outside, alot of mine are just imprinted on the material, and it has that little plastic flap that closes it???

Screw FOX - all you need is a scanner and some high quality publicity photos and/or movie posters, Make your own. Photoshop kicks ass.

Adam - all you have to do is go and buy some empty amaray clam cases. Lets say you want to redo your Matrix snap case. scan in some cool images, work your magic in photoshop and then get a plastic amaray clam case - BAM!!!

You can pick up some blank DVD cases here - http://www.sleevetown.com/dvd-case.shtml?google=dvd-case

I dont understand. I put them in my cart and then it goes to DV-Depot where it then says that pretty much all of them are out of stock, and doesnt show a picture. Is that correct?

Somebody help. I dont know what im doing!

What? I think you just but the credits, and then it's a print-out am I right? or am I confused?

But i tell ya after visiting that chaos for about the past two hours I thank GOD how easy Joblo is to use!!!

I see..... did you check the printer thingy? I believe the printer guy only works on certain days. Thats what i read anyway.

I had no idea an entire website would make an actual profession of this sort of thing. I mean, I've seen fan-made DVD covers, even made one myself, but an entire website devoted to it? Damn!

This is indeed one awesome find.

I'm seriously beginning to think that the DVD distributors oughta just hire these amateurs in a freelance way, since 75% of the time what they come up with his infinitely better than the in-house, "official" stuff. Cases in point: Identity and The Ring. They had a kick-ass posters (The bloody hand! The silhouetted ring!), but somehow the higher-ups managed to poop all over these designs for the DVD releases.

I've been using DVDC for a while and love it. I have a few covers on there, including a badass one for Behind Enemy Lines.

I love the site.

I made my own DVD cover for the BMW Hire a long time ago. I had no idea that there were sites dedicated to it. It's great!

The Kubricks Collection case? I know there are several, but one of them is really interesting. It has a weird kind of design, and then it has a review on the back, and they're all different colors. All for one big Kubrick collection that has Killer's Kiss, Killing, Paths of Glory, Lolita, Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut. Spartacus (Kubrick's bastard child) might have even been in ther,e I don't recall but it was badass!

This is absolutely one of the coolest ideas of all times. Kudos to the creators of the aforementioned sites, and kudos to JoBlo for bringing them to our attention. Neat!!!

I've used this site many of times replacing DVD covers that are so horrible, I'm glad this site is around, and there are some very talented guys on there too. An A+ site for replacing any stale looking covers in your guys collection.

Some of...fuck it most of those covers are better than the originals. Shame I have such a shit printer or I'd be going crazy right now!

Loved LOTR: Fellowship with the troll on the front and the Road To Perdition covers were cool.

Kick ass link Jo!
