It does have a plastic smell when you first get it. Air it out and it's fine. Since I don't read with it on my kindle it has not been a problem at all. I just sprayed a bit of Fabreeze on it and moved on.
****HOWEVER DELIVERY SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!!*** (I ordered through igadgtiz)
Here is my story:
I ordered the pink kindle cover on January 4th 2012. I ordered the item using my Amazon Prime membership (two day delivery) which assured me I would receive the cover by January 7th. When Saturday arrived and I still had not received an email confirming shipment (or the product) I decided to investigate. My kindle cover was not scheduled to arrive until January 11th. I found this troubling since Amazon was advertising that were I to order the kindle cover that day (using next day service), I would be guaranteed delivery by January 9th. Seriously? I could order it on a Saturday evening and get it monday morning? I ordered mine on a Wednesday and apparently was not going to get it until the next Wednesday (using TWO DAY DELIVERY). Naturally this upset me. I sent an email to iGadgitz at 2:33pm on January 7th wanting to know why my item was not going to arrive until the 11th when I'd ordered it on the 4th. I did not receive a reply until January 9th in which they blamed shipment on Amazon. They did not offer any assistance or offer to correct the issue in any way.
So my word of advice is this: If you are getting a great price as I did (under $6), go for it but don't expect prompt delivery or effective customer service. The product is wonderful. It's a shame that the company is run so badly. Were it not for the service I would recommend every body to get this. It is perfect for those of us who like to read the kindle without anything on it.
