Misleading product information

The product listed here differs from what I (and presumably many others based on photos in other product reviews) received. The advertised version has two full-size HDMI ports on the back, but the product I received is an older version that still only has micro-HDMI. I'm very disappointed because otherwise it's a really well designed case. There are a few other minor issues that I noticed as soon as I received the case. The magnets in the removable GPIO cover are held in place with a weak adhesive, and one of them fell out immediately the first time the cover was removed. The included thermal pads will not fit the SOC or DRAM chips and will need to be trimmed to fit. Also, the connectors on the back of the breakout board don't align with the back of the case, meaning there might not be enough room to fully insert some cables. I would like to reiterate that this is a good case, but I am disappointed that I received an older version of said product. The other minor issues I mentioned aren't that important, but I definitely think they should be improved. They may have been fixed in the V2 case, but I didn't get that, so I can't know.
