It’s inevitable – sooner or later you will have a disc in your hand and either a) drop it on your desk to answer the doorbell b) drop it on your desk to make a cup of tea or c) drop it on your desk as you stare in awe and amazement at the large fleet of Vogon spacecraft hovering in the air outside your window. When you return to your desk you will invariably forget about the DVD or CD you put down and go about your merry way (well, not if you picked “c” though.) That poor little disc you dropped is most certainly doomed – a stapler will land on it, it will get shuffled about and scratched, or you’ll drip a large glop of raspberry jelly from your jelly doughnut right on it (to then later lick it off – or not.)
Wouldn’t it be great if there were friendly, colorful little (nipple-shaped) disc protectors you could scatter about your desk and drop CD’s on them the next time an invasion fleet popped out of hyperspace? Such a thing does exist: Michael Scanlan’s Disc-it! disc holder protectors!

What’s Good about it?
We were sent four Disc-it!s to review in blue, red, white, and black. Each Disc-it! can hold up to eight discs on its ball-bearing, integral stacking ring. The outer shell is fabricated from sturdy plastic and each Disc-it! is filled with a pure white sand that helps weigh the disc holder down, making them excellent paperweights as well. (The sand makes a nice little “swush” sound if you shake them like little maraca’s. La Cucaracha!)
On the bottom of each Disc-it! are three rubber feet that grip smooth surfaces tightly and prevent slippage across your desk.
The DVD’s and CD’s we tested our Disc-it!s with were mostly Japanese horror films we haven’t had time to watch yet. While most disc holders would flee the room screaming in abject terror, the Disc-it!s didn’t bat an eye – our DVD’s were left floating a good protective distance above the desk without a single scratch on them.
What could be improved?
There isn’t really too much to improve on with these little guys. Our only suggestion would be to make an executive-style Disc-it! for Mr. Company CFO who could probably use one of these too, but only if it came in snooty wooty “wood-and-pewter” style. (Flesh colored Disc-it!s with the right color pallete might be another option, but for a very different type of clientelle…)
Reviewing a product like Disc-it!s really is a pleasure. They’re fun, colorful, and get the job done like they say they will bravely, and with flying colors. The fact that they are shaped like little (nipple implant) pointy things makes them the perfect conversation piece for any spot you would normally throw your CD’s down carelessly. Disc-it!s are also heavy enough to really smart if you throw one at someone, a nice added bonus we think.
