Default Has the "Green", 11mm Scanavo Vixible case been used for a Blu-ray release yet?

Scanavo (www.scanavo.com), better known to the membership for its SteelBook (http://www.steelbook.com) line of Blu-ray Disc packaging, has an 11mm plastic (polypropylene) case, called the Vixible (http://www.scanavo.com/cool_media_vix_11mm.asp), which is the same thickness as the MeadWestvaco Vortex cases (http://www.meadwestvaco.com/Products/MWV005774) that are typically used by Sony and Disney. Out of curiosity, has anyone seen the Vixibles being used yet?

The Vixible cases are considered to be "Green", eco-friendly packaging, because the clear polypropylene allows a double-sided cover insert to be clearly visible, thus eliminating some of the printed material that might normally be included in the case, but ends up getting thrown away. The Vixible case contrasts with the "Green" 12.5mm Viva Eco-Box (http://www.viva-eco-box.com/bluray.html) in that the Vixible is fully plastic (and therefore rigid), whereas, the Eco-Box uses less plastic in the form of various "cut-outs" in the mold for the case (and thus, somewhat flimsy).

By the way, there's also a 14mm Vixible case (http://www.scanavo.com/cool_media_vix_14mm.asp), presumably for the European market, just as there is a 15mm version of the Eco-Box.
