How do you get rid of the case's strong neoprene smell?

I don't think the smell goes away. It's strong huh! I had to return it and get a different case.

Smell? I have not noticed any funny smells. It is a very stretch case and works well for me.

I haven't needed to clean it yet. I have the black case which seems to be made of vinyl or some non-leather material.

Hi Almost all plastics will off-gas creating a smell when new however I do not recall any strong odor coming from this product. If you are super sensitive and find the smell objectionable, wipe it down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar/water and wipe dry. Keeping it away from heat and out of direct sunlight will also help to minimize any smell. In my opinion, smell will not be a problem with this product.

Put it in a bucket of kitty litter, that it how I stop shoes from being stinky. Well I fill old socks with kitty litter, tie in a knot and shove in the shoe until they are ready to wear again. :)

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!

Haven't tried to prove it, but I doubt it. The case itself is neoprene, but the leaks would come from the zipper I would think.

I have kept mine in my case for two years. I recall there being a odor during installation and when I would first start the computer up. It has long since faded in odor and the padding is still fixed to the interior. No smell.

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.

Get a lint roller, they're like 2 dollars at most grocery stores and will get rid of the weird feather/dust stuff. As for the smell, that's just the scent of factory, just keep the bean bag in a place with a good amount of air circulation and the smell will go away on its own after about 2 weeks.

There doesn't seem to be an odor. I no longer have the box, so don't know about the neoprene content. There is a spongy pad that is covered on each side of the ankle. I slit the cover and removed the pads since they left an impression on my ankle.

I once got a set of surplus gas masks, that had a musty, rubbery smell. I used simple green spray with a soft cloth and lots of water. Let the masks dry and set them out for a day. They came back with a neutral smell. Maybe the same will work for you.

Just hose it down inside and out and then let it drip dry. Neoprene cleans up pretty easy.

the odor might come from the plastic bag,you can air it for a while ,it will go away.

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
