No, that was a band only off eBay that I combined with an adapter. It sucked and looked nothing like the one from Apple. The thing I hate is that I wouldn't mind paying the $150 if I could actually buy one. They are still saying "June" on the website and I am not a patient person.

I think it looks great and went to buy one earlier today. Unfortunately it gave me an error and said that it doesn't ship to the UK. :(

HOCO band seem cheap in comparison to the ROCK bands I've found online.

Definitely ordered a ROCK band and it's coming in within the next two weeks

Nice! I ordered two of the HOCO bands and just ordered 3 of the ROCK bands. I'm gonna see what I like better. If i like them all, i'll just keep them all. I'm sure they'll wear out eventually.

Those adapters need to match the space grey color otherwise it just looks ridiculous. We are probably a couple weeks away from matching adapters

I have stainless steel with black sport band so that part i'm not worried about. I'm mostly just not sure about the quality and appearance of the leather. these promo shots look decent but we'll see how they are in person...

I'm anxious to see how these bands turn out. Maybe they'll rust and then again maybe they won't. I'm willing to take the gamble for $28.99.

By the way, I think this thread may have generated some interest in the bands. The last time I checked 44 had sold and the price had been raised to $35.99. Only 19 or so had sold when I purchased mine three days ago.
