Some plastics turn into a soft goo after a while. Actually, cleaning with alcohol usually works better.

It will soften some plastics. Try cleaning it with acetone before you pitch it.

It has gotten so gooey, I can't stand to touch it, not to mention any place I leave it, it leaves gooey stuff. I blame the company for outsourcing to China. I wonder if anybody has a handheld that they feel the rubber is of a decent quality that it won't go to hell in a hand basket in a few years? I'm kind of looking for a mid-grade, maybe like an Icon m73 plus? I like the idea of being able to repeat the last minute of audio, as I have gotten so accustomed to backing up on my TV when I can't hear something clearly. Bill Coleman Entrada Erie PA
