Today I received my RentCaddy DVD organizer:

This is a leather case, specifically designed for managing and handling your online DVD rentals.

I’ve been looking for something to help me organize my Netflix rentals. I currently rent seven at a time, so I usually have envelopes and discs scattered around everywhere. Not anymore.

Now I can easily browse through all my at-home titles, while keeping the DVDs clear of scratches and dust. I can also transport my leather case to any room which I decide to watch a DVD - or even on vacation!

I purchased RentCaddy on eBay, since the online store is not set up yet.

Originally found at Netflix Fan.

Just out of interest, how do online dvd rentals work?

Hey Stuart... it's simple - you have an online account of your movies - it's called a "queue," which you can add and subtract movies from. The first movie in your queue is the one that goes out - whenever you send a movie back.

This is all done by postal mail - postage costs are included in the monthly rental fee.

You can keep your DVDs at home as long as you want.

Each DVD comes in a self-return envelope, with a sleeve-protector.

I wish Australia would "catch up" with this stuff ;) ... I'm just kidding..

Just for the record, we do have DVD rental services here... I just don't think they're particularly widely used as of yet. WebFlicks, Quickflix, HomeScreen and BigPond Movies, just to name a few. All offer free trials, but I haven't personally tried any of them yet (don't watch enough movies/haven't got enough time to) nor do I know anyone else who has.
