Nike+ strap knockoffs now available on eBay!

When I went to sample bands there were a number of bands that looked good.
Surprisingly the gray nylon band looks sharp as well. I picked one up yesterday.
The unfortunate thing about the knock offs is they are selling a style otherwise not economically available to the masses.
People will settle for ok at a low price.
When there's a slew of resellers cutting the throats of eachother in a price war environment, most consumers will not pay more than these hacks are charging, regardless if the the quality is equal to an Apple band
I tried as well. I am convinced that all you see on Ebay are the same exact strap. All sellers are showing both real Nike images and images of the knockoff. Look at the band nipple. On the volt and gray/black is silver. Should be space gray. Until they start selling with the correct one I won't be buying.
Also, the molding is slightly off and imperfect. So the holes are not crisp and the edges not clean. Not a huge deal, but all of the currently available bands have been rushed out. I am sure better ones will come.
I have the original volt and I am happy to wear in 99% of all situations.
Got my Nike replacement band. I got the silver grey with white. Intersting note is that the white glows in the dark. It is not perfect however. If both pieces were like the short piece that attaches at the top I would be pleased but the bottom longer piece has barely any white in the holes. I'm going to post a bunch of photos shortly. I wrote to the eBay seller to see what they say

You need to treat yourself to a ceramic edition.

Why? I love the pink! Don't get me wrong...ceramic is gorgeous but I don't think I can commit that much money to a Watch for one year or so

To me they look good!
Can I ask when you ordered your? I ordered mine on the 19th of October from "long-technology" and I was given a shipping window of "Oct 29th - Nov 14th" the window is going to be past on the 14th and nothing...
I've ordered from a seller called 7-61864 on Ebay and the items came from China... but i'm looking for some others on UK. The order was made on 18th October and arrived yesterday - 23 days!
This is the first knock-off I have seen that looks very close to the original. Does it have the same soft feel as the original or is it more rubbery like the sport band knock-offs?
Can you post a link to where you bought it?

Tried to find the eBay seller 7-61864 and they are nowhere to be found. Perhaps they used another name?
This is the seller I've bought from!

I would be, too, but the problem is, there's a bunch of listings on Amazon, and most (all?) of them show Apple's pictures (complete with the Nike logo on the back of the watch), which is absolutely not what they'll send.
I noticed that too, but reading the reviews, I seem to see two possible candidates that I may roll the dice on.
I bought a black and grey one from amazon. I have one more in order as a stocking stuffer... I bought from different sellers just for variety.
I like this one better than my first. Just wish it was a tiny bit thicker!

I sold my OEM Nike band on Ebay for nearly $200. Can't believe some people are willing to pay that much for a cheap plastic band.
my order never came. I started the process for a refund.....I never have a good experience on Ebay.....
Mine hasn't arrived either. The last day it was supposed to get here was yesterday. I just contacted ebay and the seller and requested he sent the product via express shipping, if it doesn't arrive in 6 days, I'll request a refund.my order never came. I started the process for a refund.....I never have a good experience on Ebay.....
I've never had a bad experience on eBay. When there are problems, usually contacting the seller fixes the situation.
my last day was Monday and the seller told me that they were shipped and to wait 6 more days....I know that I will not get them....I have to wait till the 21th to have Ebay assist....
Buying on Ebay seems easier than it really is.. because you have several similar shops and sellers, with shipping conditions and fees, some with not so true feedback. All of mine had already arrived and except the silver/green, all of the others have a nice quality/price benefit.
Has anyone tried the Nike bands from this website?

Since they cost twice as much as most Nike knock-offs are they twice as good? Who wants to be the first to give one a try?
