How do you get rid of the case's strong neoprene smell?

I don't think the smell goes away. It's strong huh! I had to return it and get a different case.

wash it out with bleach and use Nok-out. You may have to do it a few times. I sprayed i down good and left it overnight then did it again and again until the smell was pretty well gone

not at all. I've gotten phone cases that had that chemical smell and it gave you a headache... this case does not

The instructions are to take the pillow cover off and let it air out for 2-3 days before use. We did that and the smell went away. Expose it so all you see is the foam material and let it air out.

Smell? I have not noticed any funny smells. It is a very stretch case and works well for me.

My case is not leather. It is some kind of synthetic material. I just use a damp cloth to wipe it clean.

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

I have had success with the commuter case. The thick one needs to be removed.

You just apply some pressure to the side of the case and push it off. Use a thumb on each end of the right side of the case. It should pop off.

Try lighter fluid (like Zippo, aka naphtha). This removes all kinds of sticky glue residue.

It would definitely smell but it is not a chemical smell but a fresh minty scent but still strong nevertheless. The strong smell lasts about 4-6 hours then wanes but it was not offensive for me nor my kids. It did not discolor any of the materials I sprayed on which includes cotton (it spilled on my clothes when it was in my luggage) , vinyl, wood, paint. I don't know what your case is made of.

To me, the smell wasn't that bad. I aired it out overnight and didn't smell it anymore. I have my case next to my bedside and it's fine.

I have not noticed any smell at all. The case doesn't close all the way when the handles are up but that is not anIssue for me.

Lift the edges of thee case up a little where the air bubbles are forming! :) try to flatten it a bit if you know what I mean

Hi, I would try cleaning it with white distilled vinegar. It will kill the smell if you get it into/under the gasket/seal. Hope this helps.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.
