Mine broke within 24 hours and they replaced it right away. Just contact BCS store. Obviously QC is little lacking, but it's expected for the price.
I ordered and Amazon said it was in stock with Prime. It didn't ship for 2 days, then the status said it would be in stock later this week. So, no, hasn't come yet.
I received the red Strapped & co today, it is a little thinner than the OEM Apple band, but I stll have to say I am very happy with the quality.
Thanks! It looks like fluorescent yellow.Here are some "brighter" ***** of the yellow Moko...
can't wait for mine! i ordered it to my parents house by mistake but i was planning on visiting them this weekend anyway! is this a MoKo or Strapped?
MoKo added a bunch of new colors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P0B3T48?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
But the price has gone up...
And I'm not sure whats up with the Version 2?

What was the price? I just ordered the orange and indigo blue for $16.99. The more I wear the Strapped & Co red one the more coral it looks. I was wearing it when I was at an Apple Store yesterday and it only looked a shade or two darker (more read) than Apple's current version.
I found this as an example - http://www.the-glass-co.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Shades-of-red.jpg It feels like Apple's is the first, Strapped & Co is the 2nd and I'd much rather have the 3rd or 4th one.
Does anyone have both the Moko and Strapped & Co red? If so, are they about the same shade?

The Moko bands on Amazon seem to change prices as frequently as the stock market. The day I bought my black one it was $13.99 my red Strapped & CO was $$29.99.
I wanted to give an update as to how I felt about the Moko band, I have not had a chance to wear the Strapped & Co yet. I have two actual Apple Sports Bands the white one came with the watch and then purchased a Blue one at the Apple Store. The Moko band is a bit softer almost has a brushed look to it but the one thing that many have asked me about the Apple bad is if my wrist sweats. I live in Las Vegas and yes it gets hot here. I have had my watch since June and been outside a lot with it and I try to walk daily and never once has my wrist been sweaty.. Need less to say that was the first thing I noticed with the Moko Band, my wrist got very sweaty, it is not any tight, it really fits exactly the same but my wrist does sweat with this band. I am fine at work because it is normally on the cool side int he office but even at home it causes my wrist to sweat. So obviously Apple's material must be a bit more porous.
I plan to wear the Strapped & Co this next week so will report on that one later.

Intetesting. I seem to be sweating equally with the Apple band and Moko (humid SC). Also, I used to wear the OEM at work with rubber/nitrile gloves (which are not breathable at all) until the band started peeling. I swapped for the Moko for work (with same gloves) and it seems identical sweat-wise. Perhaps it's different for different people.
Btw, I was in Vegas 8/4-8/12 and it rained one day. People were scampering on the strip like someone turned the lights on the cockroaches

Besides yellow, Moko now has Indigo Blue, orange, and mint! But, only in 42mm for now. And price has increased, but still cheaper than Strapped&Co. plus with both size straps.
