Well, mine just came in. For the $30 spent with discounts and referrals, it's decent. For anything more, I would've expected more:
I found the highest resolution photo I could find, so I'm thankful that the tiny hatch pattern is visible, but the beige is almost too light. There's also a slight bleed around the edges, but I wish it would've wrapped to cover the sides. You can see why in the photos.
The finish on metal clasp looks like it's been spray-painted. Not sure what to expect after a few months of wear. That also goes for the printing on the band. Will it scratch or buff off?
The adapter seems better quality than the metal clasp, and it holds well in the Apple Watch.
If they could offer a better clasp and at least cover the sides of the band, I would say it's worth the $30-40 range, but not at $70. I would suggest that anyone is looking to get a Casetify custom band, make sure you use a coupon code (i.e. ZFYU6U for $10 off), site discounts, and/or get referrals to bring the cost down.
One thing I have to note is that their customer support is inconsistent at best. They gave me a tracking number back in early April and I've been tracking it since, and up until today, it never showed any update. I've emailed from the app or website, as well as tweeted to them several times over the past few months, patiently waiting, and also to report issues with their app (their latest update never keeps the credentials, so I constantly have to log in). Today, they finally give me a new tracking number... on the day I received it on my doorstep. Oh well, at least I got it.
