I'm afraid you ended up getting a case from an early batch run of the new Kaces III KK9KB case. The first run of the new Kaces III cases included that terrible button (design flaw) but Ace Products subsequently acknowledged the problem, so on currently produced KK9KB cases, the lethal protruding button has now been replaced with a 'sewn on' type belt attachment piece instead.
I suggest either cutting off the button, or returning the case (like I did) and exchanging it for the new version case. Your hand will definitely thank you for it.
ScottSorry Scott Langholff, I thought your description on the handle area thing was the same as mine but I have the sewn on type belt attachment like Scott Yee describes.
No wonder you got yours for 60 bucks!

Just kidding but it does make you wonder why the guy on e-Bay would be selling them for so cheap. Now we know why, huh.

He probably paid pennies on the dollar for them so he probably still made out like hogan's goat.
Ahhh, the conveniences of buying from a trusted (guaranteed) source.

I suppose you didn't get a 30 day guarantee with it Scott? If you did I for one wouldn't hesitate to return it if it's something you'd rather not live with, ie., "the protruding button". Maybe that's the reason yours weighs more than mine with the Tyros inside too. The older ones were maybe slightly heavier? Sorry for rubbing it in but e-Bay is just not my idea of an overall good shopping experience if you ask me. Too many rip-offs, too many scams, too many no shows, too many antequated old stock mis-matched (missing parts) and other antedilluvian oddites. If I can't touch it, play it, compare it, opinionate it, and finally judge it with my own eyes I almost unequivocally won't buy it otherwise. But to each his own as the saying goes Scott. More power to you if you don't mind putting up with e-Bays IMO out and out atrocities and other forms of illegal activity. Although in your case it was not something illegal but something mis-construed. I guess it has to be where the buyer and seller have to communicate better to make sure the product your wanting is going to be (hopefully) the product you finally receive.
