Raised / Elevated SMT inductors -- hard to find?

Wondering if anybody here has designed with elevated SMT inductors ... the kind that have tabs for elevating the inductor body above the Dc/Dc controller chip, in order to reduce the X/Y footprint of the total system.
I am having trouble finding suitable sources for these inductors. Are these usually custom made?

mentions these inductors are custom-made.
I already know about Coilcraft's XAR7030 series off-the-shelf solution, but there are about 2.5x too wide in the X/Y to fit onto my PCB. I'm looking for off-the-shelf solutions with a footprint of around 3mm x 3mm maximum.
Anybody know where to find such parts?

While I can't find it now, Murata had capacitors with raised tabs. I would also check with other manufacturers (Wurth, Sumida, Vishay, TDK) if they plan to introduce a similar product (Coilcraft published it in late 2017).

Just so anyone who happens to go searching the web for this like me: It looks like it got patented, and I guess folks decided it wasn't worth licensing.

Actually... there's a lot of patents for this, so, idk. But I guess that's my theory on this anyways.
