Some reviews report that the case smells like gasoline or lighter fluid. Did you notice any odor?

This is true, as this smell will remain for almost a week, before it disappears completely.

There was no odor of gasoline or any other smell. I put the case on the first day without any fume problem..

No, I didn't notice a strong gasoline odor. It was assembled outside and remains outside. I would have noticed had it had that smell. Could it be the stain? If this is kept outside, the smell should go away.

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

No off gassing that I noticed. But if its exposed to heat (sunlight) it could smell.

I have not noticed any odor coming from mine. I only have trouble with the sticking keys and it is noisy.

Never had an odor/gas issue. Just would not pass inspection due to engine light going on..For the nominal cost worth a try if this is an exhaust/emission problem.

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.

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

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

Mine did have a slight oily smell when the shipping box was opened, but that might have been from the other items in the box as the smell dissipated within a day of "airing out."

1. I never, ever noticed any "chemical smell". It smelled no different than any brand new case or backpack might smell, there was nothing out of the ordinary about it, nothing bad about its odor, and frankly, had I not opened it up and stuck my face into it I would not have smelled it at all.2. I've had it a year, it has held up magnificently, and I love it.

Mine never smelled like that. It did have a strong chemical smell but it went away in a few weeks. I opened it and didn't use it for several days until the really strong odor went away. After several days the odor was weak enough I could use it but after a few weeks I didn't notice the smell. But it never smelled like an ashtray or coffee. I would return it if I were you.

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!

Mine may have had a little smell to it when first opened but it was only briefly. I put it in my car in the summer (southern state) and it did not smell anymore nor did it transfer any smell to my car.

No. I do not notice a smell, but it does keep the weapon well lubed under extreme heat.

I did not smell anything chemically about it. I actually dont think it had any smell when i got it.
