Do you like to carry your collection with you but don't want anyone rummaging through it?

Go to: Settings » General » Restrictions » Movies » None

When you open the Videos.app, all the videos will have disappeared and be inaccessible. When you wish to view your videos again, turn off the restriction.

This doesn't stop anyone from seeing whats on your iPhone if they connect it to a computer though.

[crarko adds: Obviously for this to be actually secure you need to have a passcode set so others can't go in and change the setting. Still this is useful against the casual browser; I think it's more useful on the iPad where you might actually loan it to somebody temporarily.]
