Nice... I've been cautious about pulling the trigger on the Leather Loop. How do you like it?

I also have a bit of a band collection with 2 sport bands, a leather loop, an official apple link bracelet and a 3rd party link bracelet in a different style (not an apple knockoff) and IMO the leather loop IS BY FAR the most comfortable one I own. I was hesitant at first bc it felt like plastic in the store but I figured with a 14 day return policy I might as well give it a try. After it gets broken in it feels like a premium leather and even smells like leather. After I decided I was keeping it I used some Obaneuf's Leather oil and its soft as a babys bottom now and looks even better than the day I took it out of the box.

Buy the leather loop, you won't regret it!
 
I've been taking it steady. Started off with the Space Black SS with Link Bracelet, then added a black sports band. I'm thinking about getting a red sports band also.

Do it! The red band looks awesome on the SBSS. I've been wearing this combo since Sunday and don't plan on changing anytime soon.

Thanks for the advice! I plan on picking up the red sports band & a leather loop when I go to the Apple Store Friday... My iPhone will be shipping then. So, I plan on showing up later in the day after the dust settles.

Friday and dust settling will not exist
 
I've read those tend to show itself after few months of use... Meaning it's not as durable or lasting as the official version. Do you have one?
I do. Going on 2 months now. Have one stone and the other blue. Holding up great so far. I regret paying what I did for them though. $39 for the first and $34 for the second. They're only $26 now.

I'm not rich enough to go cheap. I prefer to use oem stuff I feel safer that way.

I have Milanese, and the following sports bands: black, white, green and red. Don't have leather yet, wish they'd release more modern buckle colors.
