I put a bar of Irish Spring, a box of baking soda, and some dryer sheets in the box and just closed because the smell was making me nuts. It's been over a month and I'm afraid to open because I really don't think the smell has gone away. I did, however, buy a canvas bag from www.221parts.com. It's great. Since the smelly case is the original, I'll keep it in the closet, in the back, in the dark. :lol:
