Why does my case have a weird smell to it?

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

That I couldn't tell you ,mine did not,I suggest to wipe it off with a mild cleaning solution.

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!

No, it shouldn't smell that way. You should ask for an exchange. Mine came with no smell and I love it - so quiet!

There is a slight "something cooking" odor, more so when the unit is new. Mine is over one year old and I don't notice the odor any longer.

Nope. Hadn't had any issues. Then again, my case has good airflow... It works perfectly for me.

Nope. The smell was probably from the electronic components on the inside. Mine finally burned out & I replaced the power supply diodes. (I have an electronic background) For a less than industrial grade cleaner this little fellow has given me my money worth. Over a thousand cycles. However it is not sturdy enough to handle extended high time settings. The liquid should get hot, but I think this is the problem for the circuit board; Insufficient cooling on the inside to vent the heat away from the circuit board. I installed a micro pancake cooling fan & have had no further problems on any setting. If you have a friend that is electronic savy this is a simple & cheap modification. Hope this helps Nope.

I would exchange it, mine had a slight "new" smell to it but after being out for a couple days, the smell was gone. It never smelled like chemicals, perhaps something got spilled on yours?

I never noticed any unusual odor but just air it out for a while before you install it you won't have a problem this is a great quality product.

Tough question to answer... is this an odor from the silicone material or from being used?

I don't know, but I have noticed the same thing you have with the latest case I purchased.

Yes my battery has a weird smell. Sort of like bad plastic Kind of smell. So it has been there for a while. And it will not go away. I don't know if this is normal or not. Maybe it is normal for bad quality batteries or bad quality plastic

It has the smell of new fabric used in making the bag. i would not refer to it as an "odor", such as you might encounter if the bag were made from rubber or neoprene. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's or Sears or Ace Hardware and unzip one & take a whiff. That would be much more reliable than the subjective answers you will get from a forum. Good luck!

Mine had an odd smell when I got it, didn't really associate it with lighter fluid, but still... It now smells like my perfume and breath mints (the main scents in my purse). It quit smelling odd in less than a week. If it persists, I'd recommend just washing the rubber part with dish washing soap. Hope this helps.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Mine is a year old and it has never had any weird or stinky smell to it. Make sure you are using he detergent and leaving the top open when it is not in use.

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).
