Default Your opinion of new Blu-ray cases with cut-outs?

I posted over at the Digital Bits/Bill Hunt thread regarding these cases. In case you haven't seen them, they seem to be intermittently rolling out on releases such as "The Princess Bride" and "Quantum of Solace". At first, I didn't really mind them, but then I ended up almost damaging the paper liner when I was getting out the movie. Seems like you could also potentially knock loose and/or scratch a disc. It's also been noted that as seen in the pic above, your cover art could stick to the security sticker and become damaged.

Supposedly they're recycled. The cost savings (or lack thereof- I really don't know) is thus far not being passed on to the consumer. I'm not really sure of the benefit, since as opposed to bottled water, the product isn't entering a landfill or back into the system.

What are your thoughts on these cases? I personally am all for green but don't really like it mixed into my collection.

Releases with Eco Friendly cases:
The Princess Bride
Quantum of Solace
Silence of the Lambs
The World is Not Enough
Goldfinger
Moonraker
Never Say Never Again
