Does anyone know where I can get brushed metal CD cases (like jewel cases only brushed metal)?



They had these in the movie 'Anti-Trust' and were simply the coolest thing EVER. I want to get them but havn't found any companies that carry them...well one had a description of them but was out of business and i didn't see a picture.

    No that's not what ijerry posted. Right, the cases you're looking for look cool, and appear to be hinged. The AOL cases look like flattened Altoids boxes, without the hinge.



    Good luck. Post back if you find any.

    i know, don't they look like the most awesome cd cases ever...in the movie he drops it on a concrete floor and it makes the awesomest metal sound ever (haha probably added for effects...i mean its just metal falling but its a beautiful *ping*)





    haha i will keep looking i havn't been able to find ANy and i've searched google...is ther any way to get a hold of the people that made the movie do you think?

    I haven't seen this movie BUT if it was featured as shown in your screen shots then it's what they call a "hero prop" and quite likely was fabricated for the film by a prop-maker. It looks as if it's been professionally machined at a metal shop; I'd be surprised to find out that it's a commercially available product.



    You could attempt to look up the propmaster and write to find out where they had it done but don't hold your breath for a response. More than likely the propmaster won't remember who did it for them, there are so many vendors you use from project-to-project.



    Looks neat though!
