Long PCGS Currency Sleeve

I bought this Hawaii note recently and it's in a weird sleeve I haven't seen before. The info is on the side and the top has a narrow strip sealing it. Anyone seen one of these? I don't like it since it is rather floppy and won't fit in my "slabbed" currency box.
(The 5-spot is there for comparison)

It PCGS’s original attempt at a TPG holder.
They changed it soon after the complaints about its size and durability were voiced.

 

It’s one of the first currency sleeves.

 

Copy, makes sense. I understand the need for the change.
Too bad I can't get it reholdered.

 

The first generation holders by PCGS are junk !! very flimsy made with a low mil material starting getting there act together on the second generation holders made of mylar and it was thick with no flex on the first generation holders you could actually damage the note.
