Considerations when finding case owner's last name
Admin Login (link on very bottom of Kingslet Case Co. homepage)
Hopefully you found some helpful instructions for the padlock inside the zipper case. You'll want to start there!
It seems like the stamps on the front of the instructions are (in most cases!) each a combination of the left and right sides of different letters. For example, the first stamp seems to be the left side of a "C" or "O", put together with the right side of an "I".
You're meant to wind up spelling out four words.
The first word will be the letters in the left sides of the first seven stamps.
The second word will be the letters from the right sides of the first seven stamps.
Then if you divide of the letters from the last five stamps the same way you should get two more words!
The way the stamp ink has faded in certain letters seems to be consistent between the stamps on the front and back of the page!
For instance, looking at how the ink appears to have faded, you can tell the the left side of the first symbol matches the left side of the "C" on the back of the page and does not match the left side of the "O", so you can be sure that left side of the first stamp is indicating a letter "C".
The "cards" mentioned will be the playing cards.
Also, there's some useful info about card games on the Kingslet Case Company homepage that could prove useful :)
The message that the stamps spells out will be related to a particular card game amongst those listed on the Kingslet Case Company homepage.
All this work should lead you to looking at four specific cards.
If you've arrived at four specific playing cards, there's a particular detail that can indicate a button on the lock that should be pushed down. You'll want to use the branding on the backs of the cards to make sure you have them upright!
The stamps on the front of the padlock instructions are each meant to indicate two letters, one from it's left side and one from it's right. The left sides of the first seven stamps will spell out CLOSELY. The right sides of those stamps spells out INSPECT. Then the left sides of the remaining stamps spells out CRAZY. The remaining right sides spell out CARDS. The cards in question will be the playing cards. The message is hinting at a decently well known card game. You're not expected to know that off the top of your head though. Looking at this list of card games shown on the Kingslet Case Company homepage, the game meant to be indicated by the message is "Crazy Eights." So to "closely inspect" the "crazy cards," you'll need to take a close look at the four 8's from the deck. There's one pip on the front of each that shows a bit of smudging. These pips correspond to the buttons on the push-button padlock! The branding on the back of the cards helps make sure you're looking at the cards upright. After pushing down the buttons of the lock that correspond with the smudged pips on the cards, the small lever on the bottom of the lock can be slid sideways to open the lock :)

The contents of the pocket locked with the push-button padlock will be needed for data recovery.
