A video store cleared out a lot of old plastic cases for their video and games. I was hoping some one had an idea of how to recycle them.

Check on Pinterest.com. There's a few cute ideas there
I saw them used as wall mounted planters,can't remember where I saw it though. Play a bit the answer is there somewhere. Good Luck.
Glue buttons or hooks and hang necklaces inside to store/hide from potential thieves, doesn't take much space and will organize.
Pencil box. Jewelry. Makeup for travel. Sewing kit. Notebook holder wth pen. Chargers storage. Snack box......
If it were me, I would remove the plastic and paper from the outside, cut off the spots sticking up on the inside, and then find a fun paper or fabric to mod podge on the outside. Makes a great reusable gift box or storage box.
As a crafte they make great acrylic stamp holders. Since the top is opaque, stamp the top in a light color so you will know which stamp is stored.
Hi Susan,
Here are a few pictures to give you some ideas. I'm sure with a little imagination you'll be able to come up with a bunch more! :) Hope this helps!
you could cover them to look like personalized bound books, so they look nice on your bookshelf, and store so many things- like each could be a memento box for a specific vacation, with photos, ticket stubs, & small souvenirs... 1 for each school year, with report cards, artwork, awards & ribbons... or, if your family is huge like mine- 1 for each year of school photos collected from all the cousins... so many options. have fun!
I love the art kits that I've seen on Pinterest
Make purses. Remove the inside tabs, cover the inside and out with contrasting fabric use a good glue, maybe a spray on. They can be clutches or add handles.
Repurposing old game and movie boxes into purses is such a creative idea! It's a fun way to give them new life while reducing waste. Speaking of movies, have you heard about any exciting https://wealthofgeeks.com/movies-out-now/ ?

Remove all the bits inside and use as a safe deposit box? Use on a disk etc. to store all the little bits - Paperclips, elastic bands, notes!
