How are you mounting the ethernet magjacks from the 4.1 kit?

I've never worked with these connectors and always used pcb's that have separate mounting holes. That way i can print my own brackets. I'm wondering how others are mounting this connector/pcb combo?

The one on the right is obvious. The one on the left is my favorite for custom printed boxes. You do a boolean subtract of it from the box wall and when printing pause when you get to the top, insert it and keep printing.

Both are printed face down with no supports.

That with the pause is a great idea. With smaller, screw topped cases i could imagine leaving the slot in the case and maybe adding an extra ridge to the top.

So the recesses are where the "springs" latch in and the slots are to be able to remove the connector?
