Does it give off a strong rubber odor when it gets really hit? Or do you notice anything like that that would be an issue? Also does it fade?

I bought mine last summer. I noticed a rubbery smell when I first poured it out of the bag, but nothing significant since. My mulch lasted through the snowy, never-ending winter and looks completely brand-new this year. I will need to add a little more this summer to replace what the wind blew away over the winter months, but other than that, I am completely satisfied. I was very surprised at how real it looked!

It does dissipate after a short while. Not long till it's odor free. I didn't find the smell as offensive as some. I'd buy it again.

I don't recall mine having an odor, but I didn't stick my nose up to it and try to smell it when I first got it. Definitely wasn't noticeable from a distance. It doesn't smell at all 3 months later.

I owned this case for over two years now. The smell does disappear with time. Give it about a month or so. All quality neoprene products have that strong smell at first. Its the flimsy thin neoprene bags that have hardly any smell.

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

It does have an odor. It's really stinky when putting it on, so make sure there's plenty of airflow. After it's dry, it will have an odor, but when it's on the floor and you're walking around, you won't notice it. It's only when you're really close to the rug that you'll be able to smell it.

I have used it for only a few hours on hard wood and gotten excellent results and have had no trouble to date. I am careful to take only small cuts each time as I don't like to overburden any tools. It sounds to me like a rubber burning odor is caused by belt slippage when trying to take more aggressive cuts. Bob Heller

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

I haven't noticed any smell, I'm happy with it. I didn't remove the adhesive though, as I found it doesn't move around until I want it to.

Yes, it smells like rubber. Over time use rubber smell fade away. It needs to breath. Primo representative were good and accommodating.

I didn't find that it had any significant smell, being more of a canvas material than proper plastic any "new" smell disappears quickly and I never found it a problem :)

It does lose it's original "new" smell after it's been used - exposure to wind and water. I don't have hypersensitivity to smell so I don't know how it would be with such condition. Best of luck.

Did you just get it? I've had the purple one and had mine for a while, but I don't remember it having a strong smell when I first received it. I remember the typical new rubber smell, but it wasn't strong. It's fine now.

It had a very slight, but not offensive odor. I aired it out for 6 hours and it was completely gone. I really love it. Odor is really not an issue.
