Here are pics from the band I just received from a USA Seller:
It looks pretty decent to me except where you slip the band into the other piece of the band. Does that part look better in person? How long did it take to get it? What are your thoughts on the quality and look? From where did you order it?
It looks pretty decent for $14. Some rough edges but nothing noticeable when worn. Not the same material as original nike bands so i am told.
Ok so my vote silver has arrived. Aesthetically, it not too bad to look at.
Yo can tell it's a cheap £12 band though as it is flimsy and doesn't attach to the watch as smoothly as a quality band does. In fact in needs a little bit of effort to slide both sides in.
I am not keen on how the attachment on the underside of the band looks.
it looks okay on the wrist but I'm not sure if I would actually use it use it looks okay on the wrist but I'm not sure if I would wear it as it is clearly deficient of quality

What seller was that? Looks good enough to pull the trigger for me
That's the color I want to get. Do you think it is so flimsy it will fall off? That is my worry. Here's a pic of a knock off sports band I just bought...and I think it looks worse than your knock off nike band.
Attachments
Colour wise i think it looks great. Not too loud. I compared the band to my white sport band and its only two thirds of the thickness which is why it feels flimsy. Its a good tight fit but think that the holes that the the pin goes in to will eventually stretch. Longevity and durability may become an issue.
But for £12, it was worth a punt. If I can get a genuine Nike band in the Silver/White then I will definitely get one
It's strange though that Apple or Nike don't sell these separately. I've got a Nike+ Watch on order but what if the strap is damaged or worn? No possibility of a replacement?
On another note, my watch arrives on monday and I've also ordered two of the rep straps last week. I'll see if I can make some pictures of both when they're in.

Comparison pictures would be much appreciated, thanks. And I think Nike is figuring that the band is a big part of what makes the Nike edition special, so they aren't letting the band be sold separately, at least for now. It'll be interesting to hear the first tal of someone who buys one and legit damages the band, if they'll make a replacement part available at that point.
I don't have the fake straps in yet but here are some pictures of the real one.
Cant wait for a near flawless knockoff of the N+ band, Id be happy to pay whatever Apple asks but if they won't take my money I will have to buy elsewhere for my wife's watch.
Please forgive me for not posting photos ( technically challenged). Ordered on 10/22 thru eBay after reading post on the forum, arrived today. Amazingly light. No color bleed through. Very pleased. Those in angst waiting for the possible release of an Apple Nike+ band, for the price, free shipping- not a bad deal.

I guess you didn't read my post. Technically challenged. Not sure if I consider this band to be fashionable. I am a runner and wanted a band lighter with the additional "air holes". Unless someone is an Apple Watch purist, the band will work for you. $10.99, don't think you can go wrong. If it doesn't hold up I will post, and probably order several more, and still be ahead of the potential release of a $50 official Nike + band.
Not that hard. Take picture with your iPhone. Start typing in the forum thread reply box. Click "upload a file" button. Click "choose file." Tap "photo library." Tap the picture you want to post. Tap if you want to attach a thumbnail or you want the full size picture in your post. That's it.
