You can put used drier sheets in the case and leave closed up for several days to fix the smell. You can replace the felt pad to fix the smell. Also, you can put some coffee grounds on a coffee filter in the bottom of the case to fix the smell. A smelly case is pretty easy to deal with and is not a deal breaker if the machine works, is in good condition and has the accessories.
