So I ordered the official case for the op-1, but it seems like the fit is off...the unit doesn't seem to sit completely inside of the foam part on the bottom. It's like the foam part isn't quite wide enough...which leads to the op-1 sliding down and pushing against the zipper when stored vertically in my backpack. Anyone else have this issue? Did I get a defective case?

Thanks for the reply. That's kind of what I've been doing, I can get the OP to fit in there if I stretch the sides, but it doesn't seem to stay in the foam depression when I have the case in my backpack, mainly because the depression seems too small, which was why I thought mine might be defective. Seems like a design flaw from a company that generally thinks its designs through pretty well I thought...
Where did you end up purchasing the correctly sized case from?

I just ordered one off amazon and received it today... it has the exact same issue. I'm going to get an exchange from the same merchant and hope that the next one will be better. Let's keep each other posted!

Must be at some point the case had specs change with the foam lining, making the border too thick. I would not recommend repurchasing until Unit Portables corrects the issue and gets the bad cases off retailers shelves.
After looking around I stumbled upon this padded cordura tool bag with exactly the right length... Overall padding is somewhat lighter, but makes up for the proper fit. And build quality is on par

Plus it's under USD $15 from Amazon or Home Depot.
