That depends on your relationship with your wife! :)  If you can get away with
exchanging it, I strongly recommend it.  Do you really want to trust a plastic
bag with about $200 in electronics?  Are you certain the bag will never rip?

I have the same West Marine bag and the clip is starting to become loose.  I
store the radio in the bag so I am not using the clip that often.  I THINK
that is why they made the clip double sided, so you can flip it over.  The
point of this paragraph is things can and will go wrong.

Spend the extra few bucks and get a waterproof model. The submersibles were
too much more for me when I did plan on using the bag.  I figured between it
and a waterproof model I would be safe (not bombproof, but safe).
