A fastener for a band or the like, particularly a waistband on garments, comprising a rail provided with detents, the rail being fastened to one end of the band. A slide travels on the rail, the slide being fastened to the other end of the band. An angle-shaped flip lever has a shorter angle leg which, in a flipped position of the flip lever, engages into the detent depressions of the rail, the flip lever being carried by the slide. The flip lever has a window for the free passage of a cover strip lying on the outside in front of the rail, the flip lever including a longer angle leg which extends outward of the fastener in operating position leg. A snap-detent connection secures a covering to the longer leg, the snap-detent connection being formed by providing the convering with an opening into which a tongue of the longer leg extends. The opening is developed as an insertion pocket, open towards the window, for the tongue, the wide surface of which enters into a detent connection with the pocket wall.
