I purchased this last year and have used it about 10 times. The color is ice gray. It does not have a shoulder strap. I cannot answer detailed questions about frequency of use beyond what is stated. The elastic has loosened because I had the belt bundled up. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but this is based on my personal assessment. Please only purchase if you are satisfied after checking the images. I do not have any pets, and I do not smoke. I will only ship the items shown in the images. It has been home-cleaned, but I did not use organic detergent or baby laundry detergent. If you are concerned about minor details or are a perfectionist, please purchase a new item. Since I am a private seller, I may have overlooked something. Please only purchase if you understand that this is a used item. I will fold it up small for shipping, so please be aware that it may wrinkle.
