It's not the case. I haven't had it in the case since I got it a couple of months ago. Whenever I play it I can pick up that aroma of dust coming out of it. Here's a picture where you can see some of the funk that was in it when I got it. I vacuumed a lot of it out but there's probably still some in there. I think I'll try the rice trick first and maybe some baking soda and see if that works.
