I had another one like this but the rubberized housing got sticky all over after a while. Do you know why this happened?

Even high-quality rubber components will degrade and become sticky when exposed to ***humidity*** and ***heat***. Keep it indoors, not in a garage or other non-temperature-controlled area or shed, and I bet you won't have this problem. I had a high-quality $50 bike lock that had some rubber on it that got really sticky and gross after a couple years in the southern/coastal Texas heat and humidity, so I had to scrub it extensively with a solvent to try to clean off the outermost layer of degraded and sticky rubber goo.

Not sure what would have caused that. I've had mine for just a few months. It was purchased for back up so it's not had much use.

Gee I have not used this very much, and I am not having any issues with it yet. Not sure why yours may have done that. Was it exposed to extreme heat?

With some lower quality ruberized materials, they start to degrade and leech out some of the petrolium elements, as they age.

You need to replace the gasket in the female part you are putting it into. That rubber gets hard.

it sounds like the grip on it came undone in which case you need to take it apart and re-align the squishy rubber piece lol dont know what it is called but is pretty simple.

No issues with mine. Either return/exchange at Amazon, or contact Rubbermaid.

I didn't notice this happen, however, the silicon keyboard didn't fit properly on my keys in the first place, so I would not be a good judge of this. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance to you.

I had that happen once when I washed it and patted it on the sticky side with a paper towel. I took it off and followed the instructions to wash it in warm water and set it on paper towel on the non-sticky side. That was a year ago. Mine is still working just fine. Don't rub the sticky side with any cloth or paper. Good Luck!

The vacuum on the top when you first get them can be really strong. Try using a butter knife and wiggling it between the top and the rubber seal. After you wash it and replace the seal, you won't have the problem again.

I'm having the same problem, occasionally sticks open. I'm planning on calling the manufacturer to see what can be done. I'm assuming it will need to be removed and cleaned.

I don't think that ever happened to me, I would try to put it back up and test it in the different positions just to make sure but if it happens again I would suggest to get it replaced :)

Did you peel the paper off of the sticky pad on the bottom? I've had mine for a year and it sounds great wherever I put it, however it's about time to replace the sticky pad.

Did you clean it with an alcohol solution tissue first?And next... I hope that this does not sound foolish but did you remove the fine cellophane backing sheet? I have three of these in different vehicles, and have not had a problem of adhering even with multi curves in the dash.

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.

Sorry but I never had that kind of problem. Maybe if you vigorously wiggle the red release mechanism? It does stick sometimes. Good luck.

You are cleaning between the keys. If the stickiness is not due to something being between the keys, I would think that this is not the product that you need.

I don't have that problem. But I remember reading about it in reddit . com and an easy fix. Forgot what it was. Did you remember to remove the thin plastic protection stickers? On the inside? Also, wipe it clean and see if that helps.

Have you tried putting tape on it (regular clear tape usually works) and peeling it off repeatedly. It sounds wonky, but it works because the bits of gunk stick to the tape.

Sorry to hear that. I would contact Amazon. I didn't keep any of Rubbermaids contact info. I've been using mine for months without any issues.
