Yes, mine is skewed like that too, but the tuners don't actually press against the side. I put one of the extra pad strips at the bass side of the lower bout, and that helps. As far as accessories go: a spare set of strings goes under the back of the uke, a half-inch-wide Levy's "Henderson" strap is coiled behind the heel, a Herco humidifier fits in the cutaway's gap, and the patch cord goes under the headstock separated from the instrument by a microfiber polishing cloth. The only things in the so-called accessories compartment are a clip-on tuner, capo, spare 9v, mini screw driver, and the truss rod wrench. But it's all in there!
