GRIFITI Band Joes X Cross Style H Band 6 inch, 12" Circumference, 3.8" Diameter Assorted Color 5 Pack Elastic Rubberbands Heat Cold UV and Chemical Resistant Cooking Grade, Book, Board Games Box Silicone Supreme Rubber Bands

Not sure if the listing has been corrected or if I misread 12” inches when ordering, but these are definitely the 6” long, (approx 12”+ diameter when stretched) H Bands. Was actually looking for the 12” long, (24”+ when stretched) H Bands, but kept these as they always come in handy, whatever size. Do notice the larger H Bands stretch more easily. Smaller sizes are tougher to stretch. Haven’t had an issue with breakage at any size, but haven’t forced any to an extreme. In my experience, the Graffiti Joe Bands have the strongest and highest compression. There’s knock-off brands with thinner width and lighter compression, but if you’re looking for heavier bands, get these.

I really like these bands. Nice and strong for hardback books or others I use them for.

I like this product because it stretches well and is heat-resistant (microwave, boil/steam). I have not used it in the oven, though. I like that it can be used in many ways. The band is thick, and it holds heavy objects. My only complaint is that one out of five bands was defective and broke immediately. It is a little pricey. I hope the other four bands last longer.

I originally purchase these for backpacking, but in addition, I have a leather I-phone wallet. The credit card slots have stretched slightly putting my ID & credit cards at risk of sliding out. I had added a rubber band, which worked, but looked tacky and was at risk of breaking with use. You may have experienced the hassle of lost cards not to mention risk of ID theft. These bands are the perfect solution to protect my driver’s license, medical cards & credit cards. Very inexpensive insurance. The Criss-cross design easily holds my cards in place, and they are easy to access when needed.

VERY POOR QUALITY. EVERY BAND BROKE WHEN I TRIED TO USE THEM. THERR WERE ONLY BEING STRETCHED 3".

i bought all sizes of these that were listed. I use them to do any number of things. the first thing I did was put one on my small kindle keyboard cover because the elastic band was way past done. I just carefully put a couple small dots of super glue on the back of the cover and stuck one of the small bands on. it works great and keeps my screen and keyboard protected in my purse. I did the same for the cover for my large kindle keyboard. very happy with how they work and I saved the cost of new covers and possible damage. my daughter in law has absconded with a couple of each for projects of her own. well worth the price.

I have purchased several sizes for multiple uses. These are great and very stretchy while still maintaining good tension. I have not noticed any foul smells or irregularities that suggest any compromise of integrity or quality. One of my uses for the cross-style is as a band to add color interest to my tumbler as well as secure my flip lid from doing anything untoward to my nose. I saw on another review of the regular style bands, that the 4" ones could be lined up on your tumbler or thermos as a sleeve. Use them as bands. Use them as grips. The list goes on.

They are very handy... but they are prone to snapping if you try to stretch them much. I don't think I was overstretching them... but I had two break on me. The only one that's holding up is barely stretched beyond it's relaxed state.

So brilliant. The diffuser kept falling off my hair dryer. Not any more!!!!

Got these for backpacking - to put around my cannister stove and pot, but could be used for so many things!!!!

Brilliant

Ok.....not has strong as I wanted.....did the job.

Will not be paying the inflated price for these again. Can buy a box of 30 for a fiver on a well known site.... why should we pay extra for silicon? So it snaps better?
