You guys have it all wrong! :)

It's like here in Canada when people are trained how to lay green grass
sod during landscaping....
Difficult at times, however, it's over come by explaining, " remember
it's green side up!" :)

As in future photographer handling............... 

"Remember it's white dot down!"  Then everybody knows not to open the
case with the "white dot up!" :)

I trust you appreciate this explanation as it's such a highly technical
and crucial question to using a Leica lens. :)
