Does the case smell? Reviews for the i-Blason Google Nexus 7 2013 case said it had a strong vinyl smell.

Mine had no such thing. Smelled new when I got it but after a few days or so the smell of my pocket/side filled the case.

The case certainly has a leather smell, but since I'm no expert on leathers, I cannot guarantee that it is alligator leather. It is very attractive and durable over the several months that I've used it. The keyboard is terrific. I'm actually typing this reply on it.

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

No strong odor was noticed. When I first opened it, there was a little smell, but it went away quickly. I opened the mattress in the afternoon and slept on it that night, and I couldn't smell it at all.

Yes. It has a rubbery smell, but I didn't keep mine long enough to see if the smell dissipates over time.

It did not come with a warning at all, and unless you have your ipad in a steamy bathroom you won't smell it at all! I've only ever noticed this leather smelling funky if I've kept it in the restroom while showering. I've not ever noticed a smell even with rain and high humidity where I live.

I purchased this case for my 2013 Nexus 7, as well as the similar model offered by Asus last year for the 2012 Nexus 7 - and the best answer I have is that these cases fit well, but not snug. I personally like that these cases are slightly loose, because I like to take my tablet out of the case frequently when at home. If you are looking for a very snug, form-fitting case, this is not the case for you. If you want a very slim case that offers decent protection without bulking up your device, and is loose enough to allow for frequent removal of the device, you should consider it.

I had a white MacBook that had a vinyl case that warped. The case of the MacBook Pro is either hard plastic or passable aluminum. I think a hard plastic. It has not warped and doesn't get as hot as my old one did. I don't know what you mean by residue.

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

No. When in the vertical position this case is set into only one position using a small metal hinge. When in the horizontal position the case uses a smaller plastic leg that never really worked very well. I would still recommend this case to any 2013 Nexus 7.

My case is a few months old now, and I can still smell the leather. The nature of the smell has changed somewhat over this period, but it still is that of leather and definitely not plastic.

The front cover outside I think is bonded leather. The back is plastic. The inside is a microfiber/false suede. It has a magnetic quality, and fits my 2013 Nexus 7 perfectly, and if it is on when closed, it comes on when I open it so that I don't have to bother with the on button. I like it very much!

No. The interior is lined with a thinner leather (or, pleather ?) similar to the outside of the case. But, it's smooth and the stitching is good, so your Nexus 7 won't be scratched. It's a really decent case for the price, and the one I still use more than any other.

Mine did not have a vinyl smell. You might try using an odor removal spray.

Yes it does have. If you have a black nexus due to the chrome finish on top it add a nice touch. Many people wonder which phone I have when I use this case. Planning to order one for more with different color option in future.

It definitely has the smell of plywood on the inside of the case. I am not sure what type of wood it is or what chemicals were used on it, but I have had mine for about 3 months now and have noticed the smell of the guitar has changed to emulate the smell of the wood used for the frame.Hope this helps!

I didn't notice any plastic smell. What I did notice however was the audio and camera slots on case did not match up with my iPod 5 the gen
