My CL-L1 case came with a separately wrapped part. It is about 7 x 7 x 3/4 inches. It feels like a dense foam and is covered with black fabric. I received the case with a 300mm f/2.8 lens. Do I even need this extra part? Any ideas?

This is extra padding that nestles into the bottom of the CL-L1 case. Its absorbs shock and insures a better fit if you're carrying lens shorter than the 300mm F2.8. If you're carrying the 300mm F2.8, adequate shock absorbing padding is already positioned in the bottom of the case.
