once the smell is gone it is great [SEP] it is beautiful and seems highly functional the only problem i am 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 downi have only owned it for a little over minutes and already half of my home has the weird plastic chemical leather smell like the case 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 have 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 buttbut now i have one zipper compartment for my tips and another one for a pack of matches in case my lighter dies and extra bandaidsalso i love how well the lighter pocket holds the lighter i even tried shaking it upside down and it did not budge very nice if it were not for the smell issue i would give this case stars
