    So I received the Z30 leather pouch I had bought from the Crackberry store a few days ago and totally love it. The only question I have is, how long does the "new leather " smell linger? It was very apparent right out of the packaging and does not seem to want to leave.

    Not long from what I recal. I just got myself one so I will sniff it and report back when I no longer can notice the smell.

    Sounds good. Trust me, you won't need to sniff for the smell.

    Yes Bakron I'm sure you do, but that wasn't the OP's question. DOSE IT STILL SMELL. Lol.

    I'm a couple weeks in with mine and it still has the leather smell, but only if you put your nose on it and sniff it.

    Bought mine July 4th and it still smells like leather. Not as strong so you have to get close to it, but it's definitely still there.

    Don't remember smelling mine much. Just be careful if you drop it because after a couple times my screen cracked in the top corner where it landed.

    I also bought the OEM pouch, At first it was very tight! Now it's fine. Mine still as the leather scent, two weeks later.

    The scent has toned down considerably compared to when I bought it. Considering it's been about a week, not bad.

    Or I've just gotten used to it.

    had mine for 3 weeks and it still has that "new car smell"; that is if I bought a car with new leather seats, which by the way, would also be in contact with my back pockets!!

    Have had mine for a couple weeks much better. I think the initial smell is glue not leather. It is quite bad. I got two and have put one in the garage to let it air out. For the first week anytime I touched the pouch my hand smelled. Was giving me a headache.

    It is a very strong smell. Unpleasant but bearable. After a few weeks it goes away. Now I just faintly smell leather

    Get Zaino Leather In A Bottle and the smell will stay as long as you want.

    I wonder how many of us pulled out our Z30s and took a whiff!?

    (Yeah, I did and sure enough, there's a nice leather aroma after about a month of use. But I can't say that I ever really thought about it until I read this post.)

    I like the native leather smell. I love the pouch, too.

    It is more of a heavy glue/chemical smell use to tan the leather and put the pouch together. Kind of overwhelming. I stuck mine in the garage for a week and it went away. But that first time I put the Z30 in there the Z30 picked up that smell no problem.

    That got me to thinking. Of course I had to sniff the leather pouches I had (all 10 of them) but no, I did not stop there! Next I sniffed my leather jackets and coats (I have about 7 pairs) and no, I did not stop there either. I have quite a boot collection (about 15 pairs) so I went thru them too. Dang, I wish the OP never mentioned this thread. lmao I must have suddenly come down with ocd (never had it before) so now anything leather in my house is fair game for sniffing. lmao...
