According to Zizo it's fixed if you order direct from them. There are some vendors that may have to defective model. They replace it though I know that's a pain. I was confused on the lanyard as well. There were no instructions and I can't see where to attach it. Also why is there only one raised corner? It like they reinforced one corner only? Or was that supposed yo b a lanyard hole? Still it is a nice case with my dremel modified ports. I am waiting on my replacement. If it arrives quickly I will support them. I think my Trident Case still offers the better protection but this is ok.
