I'm sorry, I forgot to include this. As you can see in the photos, there are creases. Is this acceptable? Please confirm. Adding the following: I believe the adhesive strength is unchanged from when I first purchased it. I don't see any pills or fuzz on the thin belt part (blue side). It's just my subjective opinion because the original material is fluffy... I took photos so you can compare it to the area right next to the belt holes, please take a look if you'd like. Thank you.
