Mine said "departed shipping partner facility" on July 31st. Just like yours, mine said Pre shipment info sent to usps on August 3rd. And also just like yours, mine is in my town now as well. I guess we will be receiving ours tomorrow!
Mine was just updated to arrived at post office, delivery tomorrow. Can't wait to see my new NON OEM Beige(Stone) Leather Loop. I hope it is as good as the Light Blue LL I got a few weeks ago.

Mine hasn't changed yet. Pretty sure I am gonna get it in 2 days.
 
Got my wife's ML band for her 38mm sport and I have to say it's a damn good replica. I have the OEM to compare and to the untrained eye it looks good. No gaps either. I ordered on the 26th and got it today to Chicago.

Any way to put up a picture comparison?

Kinda funny as your OEM band looks more fake next to the shiny new one! :)

Looks really good, not perfect, but seems much better matched at the Case than the 42mm samples.

My Inko ML delivers today, as well. I'm a little perturbed that my link clone has been sitting here in Las Vegas since Friday and I still don't have it. I have a funny feeling I'm not going to.

Finally! My Milanese Loop from Inkoo888 arrived, after very quirky shipping.
Anyways, I am BLOWN AWAY by the quality of this band. The mesh is very fine, unlike some of the clones I've seen. Looks identical to the OEM, at least based on pics I've seen.
The adapters fit fine, and seem as good as I'd expect for only $30.
Magnet is very strong, although it does fit through the adapter as you can see in the picture.
It's very comfortable on my wrist; even though I've only had it on for like 20 minutes, I am so impressed by it.
I HIGHLY recommend this band. Seriously buy it if you are even remotely considering the ML. It is EXCELLENT!

Mine also just arrived a couple hours ago, and I totally agree with your review. Very comfortable to wear, and it looks amazing. Excellent pics BTW. I also agree, the shipping process was a bit quirky, but the end result was well worth it. The ML was the band I wanted the most when I got my watch, I am so glad I waited for this 3rd party version. It is so worth the $30. Just goes to show how overpriced the Apple bands are.

For $30,- it looks fine (on pictures) indeed, but there are still some points I don't like in the pictures.

I think it's to short to say that the apple band is overpriced, on this band the adapters are just to small for the watch, and the steel off the adapters + closing has a not so nice finish

Maybe it's what you can expect for $30,- but it's just not as good as the real one. There first has to be a better fake one before we can say the apple one is overpriced.

Thanks! And me too, I liked the ML most. This clone is just about perfect IMO. I see no reason why I should get the OEM now. This looks about the same, and I imagine it feels the same as well. It is awesome!

I agree it's not perfect; but like you said it's only $30. To get an extremely high quality ML, we have to get Apple's. But for just a bit more quality than this one (cause I think this one is pretty high quality as it is), you shouldn't have to pay $150. I think $75 or $100 would be more fair.
 
decided to try the Inkoo88 (even after my mishap with the LL) and offered $30. Accepted. We'll see if i like the SS with the SB watch. I saw some online that look good.

It is totally worth the odd shipping imo. It looks great and feels amazing. I love it, and I'm sure you will too!

Told you :D! As for the adapters, the gap is not AS BIG in person. I feel like it is bigger on the Sport Watch for some reason though.
 
Damn you. That seller had a blue leather with dark adapters, and I had to pick one up!
Well Crap. It just got here, and the adapters are... Silver. Going back. Blue isnt very nice either. Kinda dull. Couldnt tell it was blue till i took it outside in the sunlight.
 
DAMN IT!!! I just ordered the silver one from Inkoo88
And now I ordered this too. Thanks :p
Ill let you all know how it is. And Ill have a silver milanese for sale too. $30 :D
