One person said that the strap smelled like chemicals. Did anyone else have this problem?

I did not have any scent come from the eForCity armband at all. I've also bought a second one for a gift since then. I really like this armband.

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

I suggest emailing the vendor and/or manufacturer to ask about a replacement strap. It is made by a company called K-Cliffs Lifestyle and here's the link to their home webpage: http://www.k-cliffs.com/ From there, click on the "contact us" link and ask if you can just buy a strap replacement. Good luck and hope this helps.

Nope! I didn't even notice any smell. I just sniffed the cover - LOL - and it's only a faint leathery smell.

I had a smell in the beginning but as they say below it wore off...if it continues I would contact the manufacture for another model. Make sure to check for melting plastic...also make sure the outside doens get hot.

Mine did the very same thing. The strap stretched on my during my first outing with it. My friend his the same axe with no issues. I hope you still have the sheath because its an easy fix. What I did was take it to a local leather shop and had them add a second snap to the strap. Only coat me $3 and was a great fix thus far. Haven't seen replacements personally.

I am wearing a bracelet right now, and I do not notice any rubber smell. I am not sure about the rubber vs. silicone issue. You could probably contact the mfg. to find out. They do vary in price, maybe that is because of the material used.

Hi, I bought these back in April and didn't notice any kind of smell. I'm not sure what others are talking about, but I did not have a problem with that. Each headband is individually wrapped in plastic and they all come in a large plastic zipper bag. Maybe people are smelling the plastic. I actually just unwrapped and used a brand new one last week and didn't notice any smell. Hope that helps.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there.But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

I didn't have either of those issues. The rubber is quite thick and helps alot. I don't know what people are talking about with the smell, mine didn't smell at all. To be honest, when I opened the package I was very surprised at how sturdy and heavy these were considering the price.

I could smell material (plastic type) when I took it out go the box, but nothing after that. No smell that would cause me not to use it. Thx. Good luck.

No, I have not as yet. My strap is raveling and will soon need replacement. I ordered two Bags,.

I suppose that would depend on the person. I've never had this problem but understand the concern. But any strap would have this same issue, it just might be bumping into things from the front instead of the sides.

I had the same problem with the straps and had to get a new one. So I don't think so. It's the weak point of this product, unfortunately.

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

I'm sorry. Mine did not come with a smell. :( Maybe ask them to replace it.

We ordered this also, and it came with a terrible chemical smell. Leaving outside all day didn't help dissipate the odor. It's coming from the 'leather' or faux leather at the end of the scope. Can't seem to get any answer from the seller. Beware! I asked my d-i-l to put it away until we know. (purchased as a prop for a young 'pirate'.)
