Good to hear. I might receive mine next week.
There is no tracking code provided.
By the way, I gotta say, the 'leather' on yours looks far from the genuine leather loop.
Propably from an old batch?
I am seriously considering getting a Leather loop, but I am a little worried the 3rd party bands might be too long for my wrist, I don't want it wrapping all the way around my wrist and over the watchwhat have your experiences been? Are the 3rd party bands much longer.
So I finally ordered the lnkoo888 black leather loop and just received it today, and I must say I am very impressed, it is a perfect fit on the watch and the length is perfect too...so I am very happy with this decision.
I already had the blue and it was great. I ordered the beige one and it just came today. Beautiful.
The image of the brown wearlizer from amazon looks way off at the connectors.

I have small wrists and was concerned about that as well. I bought a Wearlizer band from Amazon and the fit was great. Purchased a red one from Utica Guy and it was way too long and wrapped over the watch; I reluctantly sent it back. Ordered another red band from the same seller on Amazon and the fit is perfect. I thought they all came from the same manufacturer, but now I believe I was wrong. I'm very happy with the leather loop bands I now have.I am seriously considering getting a Leather loop, but I am a little worried the 3rd party bands might be too long for my wrist, I don't want it wrapping all the way around my wrist and over the watch
I bought two leather loops: a blue 38mm one from Inkoo888 and a black 38mm from amazon (wearlizer). They are both pretty nice for the money (I paid $38.99 for each).
My take:
The blue one from Inkoo888 fits pretty well, the adapter is a little short on the long-strap side but is not really noticeable at all. The magnets are fine. It feels good. However, the strap is fading (turning white a bit) on the short side (near the adapter on the top where it connects to the watch). I emailed the seller and he offered to replace if I sent it back, but it is not too bad and I am not going to go through with the hassle.
The wealizer (black loop) is actually pretty perfect. The adapters on both sides fit PERFECTLY and it feels nice. THe magnets feel fine (same as blue loop). I have only had it for a few days so I am not sure how it will hold up, but so far there is no peeling, etc. that others reported initially with the wearlizer....
If you have Amazon Prime, I recommend you order the Wealizer and if it is not perfect, send it back. I think that since they started making these leather loops (and I am *pretty* convinced they are all made in one factory in China and sold off) that they have rather perfected the sizing, etc. Probably won't hold up as well as the Apple version but for the price, you really can't beat it...

Went to the GI doctor today and the nurses crowded around my Watch. One nurse was wearing her newly purchased 38mm sport watch with white band and said she will be going on eBay to get a leather loop like mine.

You'd think the White Sport Band is perfect in a hospital!
Yeah but you gotta figure most watch owners are not like macrumors forum members. Most are still wearing the band that came with their watch. They know that bands are easy to swap but haven't looked into the third party bands yet and don't want to buy apple bands because they're expensive. The leather loop knockoff is a very easy sell to people like that.
Got my leather loop from lnkoo999 today, and again a bit dissapointed.
The band in overall is pretty good, it's a bit glossy/plasticy.
It locks in perfectly, and it feels good in overall.
Now the band thing is, the top piece has a gap, and it becomes huge when you have it a bit tight on your wrist.
The leather at the top is just loose.
Going to try it with little bit of super glue.

Hmm. Guess I got lucky with my 2 leather loops from lnkoo888. They're not flawless but for the price I couldn't be happier.
got my blue LL from inkoo last week. I like it, good value for the price. I do notice the adapter peeking out from under the casing on both sides at certain angles. Much moreso on the top the adapter is visible.
Does everyone's adapters do this?
My black one does show a very, very small amount, but to be honest for £23 I am very happy. If you buy a genuine one and it does this it is not acceptable. However, for the money the strap is good value in my opinion.
No, I got two of them and both are 100% perfect fit. I plan to buy two more to round out my complete color collection.
Interesting so when you put the watch on and angle your wrist and the band is pulled taut, there are no adapter edges visible top/bottom under the casing? Just wondering if I got a dud.
Not even close! I think you got left overs! Freedomoclock09 strap-
mine's from inkoo so yours very well may be a different band
