There is a difference between OEM and non OEM. The OEM is thicker and does feel like better quality. I bought two non OEM from different vendors. The first one I bought, 42mm blue has held up pretty well. No peeling and still looks new. I would switch off every couple of weeks. The 42mm black one just started to peel and I bought that in September. The blue I bought in July as I said is holding up. I bought THE non OEM because the heat during the summer here is bad and didn't want to wear the OEM. I am now switching between the black OEM and the blue non OEM. For the holidays my wife it's going to buy a blue OEM from Apple. Her company gets a good discount from Apple so I won't have to pay full price. If I can find a non OEM black that can hold up I will buy it. The prices have dropped into the 20's so I can afford to try another dealer since the one I bought the good one from doesn't have any black left. The non OEM leather are pretty good but it depends on where you get it, the quality I have found is quite different. It looks like they're different manufacturers in China. The blue one was put together pretty and the leather feels like leather. The black non OEM leather actually looked like the real thinning and felt like it, but it didn't hold up. If you can afford an OEM, buy it. It is a better quality. If you are like me and want to stretch ought the time on it lasting, buy a cheap non OEM. Most people won't realize it isn't an OEM version. Plus they feel fine on my wrist and the magnets are good. I hope this helps somewhat.
