Need help with "Z" series CS-DG1000 case ... how d

[subeluvr]

Got a Minolta CS-DG1000 case for "Z" series cameras. Darned if I can figure out which way the camera goes in. Lens down or up or left or right? And what the little velcroed gizmo inside is for?

I'm sure I'm missing the obvious but can use all the help I can get!

here's a pic of the case
