Why does the rubber part of this cover smell like lighter fluid and how do I get rid or the smell???

Can't tell you why it smells like lighter fluid. I just know that they have people that can't read. They sent me the wrong case, it was "way to small" to fit my phone. So I went to a "flea market" and got the right case for $20.00. Half the price.

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.

Honestly mine smelled like rubber. Try to soak just the rubber part in soapy hot water.

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

I got used to it after a couple weeks, I only put up with it because I personally only wanted that specific steering wheel cover. And it's awsome except for that. The smell is still remnant after a year but like I said I don't min it anymore, it was incredible strong at first though, I even washed it a couple times and put dryer sheets between the wheel and cover, nothing worked tho. The seller has excellent customer service however, they sent me the wrong style at first, but overnighted me the correct one without hassle and let me keep the mistake one! Hope this helps

hi,After a few months, the rubber smell diminishes, but does not go away completely. I have a full set i got 8 years ago and up close, the rubber smell is still noticeable.Gene

Deal with it and use it. It will go away. The case is rubber. It obviously going to smell like it.

Its a dreadful kerosene/diesel smell. We left it outside all winter and all summer. I doused it in febreeze and hosed it down. Everything that touches it stinks. After about 9 months in the sun, rain and winter it smells less, but if we leave it in the car on a hot summer day the smell comes back in full force. Best of luck

I called the company and they said that it was some kind of coating that eventually wears off. So far the smell has not gone away and I think it is something in there brake pads.

It seems to be a rubber like smell and it doesn't bother me at all. You could try a clothes dryer sheet and leave it in the case.

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

What smell? Mine didn't have an unpleasant odor, but I have washed the cover on gentle in our washing machine once with no issues...Not sure you're supposed to do that but I have a small toddler so I went for it.

It was a very strong rubber smell. I put the spring cover in the washing machine with just water and let it air dry and it has been fine. My mom bought one and hers didn't smell hardly at all. It is worth it. I love it.

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
