    Did any of you guys buy this thing? How's it working for you?

    I just got this and am pretty sure its broken. It's kind of hard to explain but the locking mechanism is able to turn while in its casing (so basically if you lock it, you can just twist the lock with your fingers and it will come out), making it virtually useless. I think the problem is this locking washer that goes between the lock and the casing became loose and came off, but it seems to be the only thing preventing the mechanism from turning which doesn't feel "safe" enough to me.

    Greetings:

    I purchased the addon for my X200 (now being exchanged due to a verizon wireless/advantage connections issue), and could not figure out how to plug it into the X200.

    So I'm not sure if I'm going to have to return it when I get the new replacement (hopefully I'll figure out where to hook it up), or put it out on freecyle or another location (i.e. not collect dustware).

    Thank you.
