I expected to ship them back and order the 8 when they came back in stock, but somehow the 7’s fit perfectly. The metal is strong enough to hold the attached shower wand. Ive seen them for $20 on up, depending on color and size. He has used these daily for several weeks and this was a good purchase. Molto comode e facilissime da indossare per la mia bimba di due anni! Now if I put the earbuds in the case and give them a good push to make contact they seem to reliably charge and work. This robe is my swan song. I was afraid of going up because I dont think the straps would fit as well. Seems to have everything I needed to winterize it, including good easy to follow instructions. I did not have a good experience with this product!
