Review (4/5): Once the smell is gone it's GREAT!
It's beautiful and seems highly functional, the only problem I'm having at all is the smell is SO bad that I had to spray it with air freshener, clean it off and contain it in a small container to try to cut the horrible smell down....I've only owned it for a little over 10 minutes and already half of my home has the weird plastic/chemical/ leather smell like the case.
24 HOUR UPDATE:
Ok, after multiple sprayings with air freshener and multiple cleanings.... I finally have the strong plastic/chemical mixed with leather smell under control. (The leather smell I've always really liked, it was the plastic/chemical smell that was killing me!) and now that I have that problem under control I REALLY love this case!! I use tarblock tips on my cigarettes (which are quite small) & normally have to put a few at the bottom of my cigarette case making access to them a pain in the butt....but now I have one zipper compartment for my tips AND another one for a pack of matches in case my lighter dies and extra bandaids....Also I LOVE how well the lighter pocket holds the lighter, I even tried shaking it upside down and it didn't budge! VERY nice!! If it weren't for the smell issue I'd give this case 5 stars!!
