Not style wise you understand! The casing - which has been meticulously looked after, not cleaned with chemicals, is now tacky to the touch. I'm guessing that this is the rubberised coating ageing. Has anyone else come across this and, short of getting a new housing (I love the style so can't part with it), is there a cure. 

Dipping in talcum powder might be a bit drastic!

 

Best,
