The elastic is absolute fail, unless you are using a fondant coating on the cake. Most cakes use frosting.

You don't have to push it back together with your hands. You can slide a spatula underneath to lift and shift.

I think it would still be an improvement without the help of a rubber band.

Or just eat the whole cake in one go? Derr.

If your cake gets dry and shitty overnight on a fridge, you're probably making/buying terrible cakes.

This method was invented in 1906, the refrigerator was invented in 1913... So this is really about preserving cake without a refrigerator.

You could just put a lid on it . . .

Throws off the cake to frosting ratio for each piece. That will not do.
