Hi there,
Pretty much every case book has unconventional cases! Just as an example, the Columbia casebook (2017) has the following nonstandard cases:
Case #1 Alkaline Ash
Case #3 California Parking Lot
Case #10 Hotel Ocho
Case #12 Life Insurance Merger
Case #15 Outsourced School Food Service
Case #20 Pre-K Education
Case #21 Rock Band
Case #23 Tristar Home Appliances
I've also created a fair few unconventional cases (as they're my specialty!). Take a look here:

No really, just look at the cover of business newspaper and whenever they talk about a problem think about how you would approach it.
Then read the content, as you'll be able to check if you addressed the key points.
