    If you liked the iPhone Personal Movie Theater, you're gonna love the Personal Shoebox Apple Store. Made with a shoebox, two iPhones, and a lot of love, it even has a Mini Cooper driving by the Grand Opening. One of the iPhones powers the screen behind the Genius Bar, while the other lights up the Apple logo outside the store. You can buy the iPhone Personal Movie Theater and Drive In kits from http://www.personalmovietheater.com/, but I'm really hoping that a Personal Shoebox Apple Store kit is forthcoming so that my lack of craft skills will be no impediment to having an Apple Store in my house. These wonderful shoebox creations are the work of Gary Katz, and the latest shows a true love for the Apple brand. Well done, sir! [via iPhone Savior]

    I love home theater. I love it so much that I have a real one in my house with a nine foot 2:35:1 screen and enough clean sound to be IMAX's little brother. Now Gary Katz has taken the opposite approach and built an absolutely gorgeous Liliputian theater out of a shoebox, some rubber cement, laser printed graphics and a very sharp knife. Take a look at the hand in the picture above and you'll be able to see the scale. Open the doors and you'll see a quite realistic-looking theater. And what powers the magic? An iPhone of course, which is cleverly slipped into a slot at the back of the shoebox. This little jewel box of a theater is a work of art in itself and the attention to detail is remarkable. I can easily see an audience of green army soldier toys happily watching Toy Story. I think they'd like it much more than Ratatouille. Read on to see the theater in action and then check out the inevitable 'making of' documentary. [via iPhone Savior]
