My Oudie has gotten real sticky to hang onto, I have tried to sort of wash it in baking soda without much luck, any ideas?

I had the same problem with my Oudie2, Paul Remde at Cumulus Soaring replaced the front bezel for me. The back is still a bit sticky & soft...

Must be some weird Chinese self-destroying plastic - how environmentally conscious of them!

Still works fine, so I've stopped worrying about it...

It may be a reaction between the plastic and an ingredient of the sun-block lotion you are using! My wife managed to dissolve the top layer of pretty much all the buttons she regularly operated in her car after using a particular sun-block.
