I've just learned that -some- of the 1-1/2" wide shoulder straps that I've shipped with K3 and KX3 cases were not assembled correctly by the supplier, making them too long for most users.
The "fix" is to first completely remove the rubber pad from the strap. It will only come off one end of strap, and this is done by cocking the hook assembly so that it will slip through the two slots in the ends of the pad. With the pad removed, adjust the strap for the shortest possible length ... about 50". Re-thread the end -without- the rectangular sliding buckle through the slots in the pad, thus pulling -two- layers of the strap through the slots. Re-adjust the length of the strap to suit. Be sure you have the pad on the strap(s) so that the flat side is facing inward and the adjustment buckle is facing outward when the strap is in place on your shoulder. I don't know how many straps have been sent with the pad on the strap incorrectly, hence this posting to the reflector. I apologize for the bandwidth. 73!
