My case smells bad...like super rubbery/latex smell. I soaked it all night in soapy water didn't help. Any tips on how to get rid of it?

I did not have that problem with the one I purchased. Maybe, leave it outside in the sun, or immerse it in hot water? Good luck..

Send it back. Try another one. They arent supposed to smell like that.I bought two and no smell like you describe.

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

Let soak in water with. baking soda overnight, then wash it with laundry detergent. Dry it outside with indirect sun light.

Deal with it and use it. It will go away. The case is rubber. It obviously going to smell like it.

mine did not have that issue at all. i've had it for over a year and it is still in superb shape. not only makes my phone look so very nice, but i'm absolutely never concerned when i drop it.

Danie. Mine did not smell, however, you may have a nose like my wife who can literally smell things way before anyone else. You may have this sensitive smell and since rubber has a petroleum base, you may be ultra sensitive to it. If, after a few days the smell doesn't go away on its own, you may have to return it for a hard plastic version from another vendor. Don't despair. If the smell doesn't go away, let the vendor know you have to return it...or Amazon.

I have not tried to mask or eliminate the "rubbery plastic" smell that the mat had when we first got it. However, after time and use the smell has all but disappeared. Sorry that I couldn't be more help.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

Hi Katya! I started with 4 thin coats of the Magnetic primer... Yes the smell was pretty bad! Then, once it was fully dried, I lightly sanded it smooth and wiped it with a damp lint free cloth. Once it had dried again I applied 2 topcoats of the Rust-Oleum 206540 Chalkboard Brush-On, Black Latex paint, and YES the smell went away in a day or two after the latex dried.

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

Can't say why but can say that our case came with a really weird smell too... Like strong synthetic rubber or something but smell has seemed to wear off with use

Soon after I got my white case, it started looking dingy. I have use Clorox wipes and scrubbed trying to clean it, but it continues to be dingy and brown-ish. It's a good case but get a different color!

I think the problem is that the case first needs to be cleaned as well as the iPhone screen. I had the same problem, there is an oily residue that should be cleaned first.

I don't know but I did not like this case. It fits loosly and smells like rubber. I am not using this case any longer.

It is just the smell of Natural Latex, which is what our bands are made of. It would be the same with any bands, even worse with ones made out of dry rubber compounds out of China. Usually this will wear off after a few weeks. If it is a problem, I would recommend using a set of workout gloves.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

Hey A-Aron - mine has no such odor! I am very sensitive to such things - I think you should exchange it for another pair. It's a great case!

I have been using a soft cloth that I spray with fantastic, then wipe off case. (Do not spray directly on case). Have had case for over a year now still looks good.

I never used mine because the rubber compound in the cover releases an overwhelming toxic smell! It's still in my garage airing out ! Maybe in a few months it will de-gas
