I had that EXACT same red one. Man that rubber got really nasty feeling once a year in

Pro tip: rub the plastic with corn starch to get rid of the sticky residue

SLPT: rub me with baby oil for more sticky residue

It’s in landfill now but good to know with dealing with items with old nasty rubber

That shit had a comeback the last couple of years, it feels really premium, until it doesn't.

This is soft touch plastic. It is a plastic with rubberized coating which unfortunately starts to melt after some time. When that happens, you can just remove the coating with isopropyl alcohol and paper towel to get just regular shiny plastic.
