Phone fell in the bird run
Unfortunately, it landed right in a pile of broody duck poop.
My phone case reeks. I've tried washing it many times.

Does anybody have any tips for getting this smell out of a phone case

Phone is fine. Just the case.

*edit to add
You are allowed to laugh
It is funny (just irritating)

Have you tried scrubbing with lemon juice?
If that doesn’t work, here’s what worked to get rotten egg smell off my hands: nail polish remover mixed with some scented soap. Dunno why or how.

I have not tried either of those
We don't have remover so I can't test that, but do have lemon concentrate if that's good enough

Rubbing Alcohol. I would personally use the rubbing alcohol pads like for cuts that way you don't have to worry about to much liquid.

Dilute bleach. We have a home zoo. The cure to the daily “What’s that smell?” question is a spray bottle with dilute bleach.

You have taken the case off the phone, right? I mean it seems obvious but I had to ask. And, um, does the phone itself smell?

And now I have to ask what everyone is wondering: how did this happen? Was the phone in your hand? In a pocket? Which pocket? Details, man, we want details!

I always wear an apron when I go out to the chickens. My apron has two big pockets at just below waist leve, in front. Phone goes in pocket. Practically impossible to fall out.

case was removed for thorough cleaning, yes.
Phone was carefully cleaned, and didn't smell. The way the phone fell, a little gunk got on the phone camera glass cover and that's it
It seems that the stupid plastic case grabbed on to the smell.

okay so for no good reason, most of my clothes don't have pockets. And i usually refuse to wear a jacket
When I do have pockets... they aren't very helpful for keeping a phone contained.

So I was doing evening bird chores
And okay, they were out later than usual. The days are already starting to get longer I guess? So that's part of why this whole thing happened.
Most of them were pecking around for food, so I added more so they'd definitely be full (*they did have food. But the new bag of feed just goes to dust easily and they don't like that. Nor do i)

So I bent to move all the powder to one side of the feeder so they'd pick at it.
And my useless men's t-shirt pocket, I forgot that I can't lean over with a phone occupying the useless pocket (I remember this when I'm near water. But not when I'm around dirt)
So... yeah. Splat.

Now, when I don't have pockets, I either wear a long shirt I can partially tuck in to create a temporary pocket (phone can fall out still)
Or carry it and set it down in a safe place.
Only reason I keep the phone with me is for emergencies (usually no emergencies, but some people freak out if I miss a call)

So. Phone is clean
And the case smells like dawn soap which I hate
I can't tell you if the smell is gone because apparently the stench of dawn soap is even stronger than broody duck poop

My Goodness, I was just getting ready to suggest Dawn Soap. There might be different smells of it as they have different types so maybe you can find a different type that doesn't smell of a smell you do not like. I couldn't imagine anything smelling worse to you than duck poop! LOL
