The US Snow White has a slip cover. That's likely in the running as its older. Although I believe the German Sherlock Holmes has a plastic slip if I remember correctly (although I could be wrong)

Also, I have what I think is the first, and possibly only HD-DVD Steelbook - T2. Were there any others?
 
fixed some your list.

a lot of things are only first if "blu-ray" is written in.

Not sure if IM CA is first embossed/debossed ... but itd be interesting if so.

i beleive there was 2 HD-DVD steels ... and then there was also one straggler that really didnt see the light of day but its out there ... one of the Bourne's ... think ultimatum. It was German, and exists.

Daft Punk g1 BD steel also was embossed/debossed both sides before Das Boot but technically isnt supposed to exist as well. (but does)

The German Sherlock Holmes 1&2 steelbook definitely has a slipcover, (I own it) though it's side opening rather than top/bottom, I don't know about the Sherlock Holmes 1 steelbook.

The UK Fast & Furious 1-4 steelbook (released 21st September 2009) has a plastic slipcover, is that older than the US Snow White?

It's also the first (and possibly only steelbook) without any artwork on it as all the artwork was on the slipcover and a sheet of stickers :hilarious:
