The Glitter MagicBand Keeper Slider is Convenient and Sparkly

Glitter MagicBand Keeper Slider

I love the ease and access that a MagicBand gives guests at Walt Disney World, especially the updated version with the removable puck. Of course with the customization opportunities for them, I’m always looking for fun new ways to wear mine, like the MagicBand Keeper Sliders. It’s well known I love sparkles, so the Glitter MagicBand Keeper Slider is even better!

The Glitter MagicBand Keeper Slider is Convenient and Sparkly

This keeper slider is designed to hold a Walt Disney World Magic Band 2 Puck on a wristband. The designer has tried it out with many different bands, including the Apple Watch. You can use it for Fitness Watches, Smart Watches, and many more. I also like it for attaching my son’s MagicBand puck to my own, so it’s one less thing to keep track of.

They are also available in over a dozen different colors! You can find your very own Glitter MagicBand Keeper Slider at the My Design Accessories Etsy Shop.

Stay Magical!
