has anyone had any problems with the straps coming apart?

I never had a problem with the straps but the zipper broke. It wouldn't connect back together and when I did get it fix, i couldn't put too much stuff in it because I will bust back open. It's a great bag overall.

The backpack straps aren't sewn on - they are detachable on mine. I bought this bag in February of 2012.

Can not help you on this. The one that I purchase lasted about three months, straps broke and other problems so I toosed it.

Ours has not broken and we are pretty rough with it because we used it inside a homemade mermaid costume. In order to fit the monofin inside the costume, we had to roll it up and squeeze it down the skin-tight bodice. It easily survived the roll-up. The straps have not broken yet either. But we're conscious of rinsing it off and storing it in the garage when my daughter is done swimming with it. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I didn't use the strap and have had mine for almost 3 years. I haven't had any issues.

I have no problems. We've had it a few months now. I just treat them like carseat straps. Mild soap and warm water. Wipes clean! :)

Hi. The straps close more like a belt buckle. I have used it many times and no problems at all.

We have not had a problem with the handle coming off. So far it has been very sturdy.

I've had mine almost two years, constantly popping it in and out of the bottom tabs, and they're holding up well. Some of them are showing slight wear if you look closely, but that's because they're protecting the corners of the device as it gets thrown in and out of bags and takes the occasional tumble. They may be the best secure-a-gadget solutions I've seen in a case, vs. straps, hardshell, or a sleeve.

I have been using it for at least 2 months. No problem with all 3 Velcro straps.

We have used it to transport items for a snow ski trip and had no trouble with the straps provided. I felt it was very secure.

It also has straps that go around the back. I have had mine for about a year and have had no problems with it.

We have not had a problem with the straps. We used our bag in November when we went to Belize and it worked great. We are very satisfied with it. Thank you.

Ours gets worn daily and we have had no problems with seams tearing or anything falling off.

Nope, I haven't. Better to use straps from an older pair you don't wear anymore or just get a new pair in my opinion.

I have had mine 5-6 years and the velcro still works just as well today as it did when I bought it. I agree with another answer that said the strap would be quite simple to replace if you use it enough to wear it out.

Mine was purchased in June 2013 and the strap did break on our trip, however, it was probably overloaded.
