Sorry to be tardy to the party, but I understand what you mean - it would be superb if there was a viable way that consumers could design their own steelbooks for an extra charge, keeping the retailers and studios happy all at once. The only problem would be, as people have pointed out already in depth, the studio's copyright hold over a film and all of its images. Add to that the fact that both the term and finished article steelbook are registered trademarks also, and you'd be looking at some hefty expenses just for one individual, but cool, steel. As another member has said, you should get onto steelbook.com and contact them with your idea - since the words "revolutionised" and other various hyperboles are thrown around about themselves on there in abundance, you may find that they might want to listen to you.
And I also would like to see pictures of these home-made steelbooks please. Bet they look super cool.
