They are still inner wells, there's different types and it doesn't depend on the period of time, it just seems situational. 

Generally, heavier books (usually older book) got a solid inner well. The worry was that a heavy book in a soft inner well would tear at the staples due to the weight.  However, I do have some light modern books with solid inner wells and some heavier books in soft inner wells.

This book used to be a 9.2 (before I owned it). The tearing at the staple was caused by movement of the book within the inner well. It was in a Gen 1 holder. I'm not sure I know how to identify a solid inner well. Could someone clear that up? I'm wondering whether any of my other GA books are at risk due to being in the wrong kind of inner wells.

Solid inner well looks like there is a wall surrounding the book. Soft inner well loops like the book is just suspended in a comic sleeve/bag. There is no wall for the book to bang into. The book pictured above has a solid inner well.

I have to disagree.  I have had, and probably still have, the same book encapsulated in two different inner wells.

Thanks; that does make it clear. Even most of my Gen 1 slabs appear to have a solid inner well. This book is the only one I found that doesn't (grade date 7/18/2000):

I've never seen a soft inner well on a Gen 1 case.  I'll bet this was graded just before the transition to Gen 2.
