Sport straps have arrived on Ebay for relatively cheap. - Samsung Gear S2

Has anyone tried them out? I just purchased a brown one for under $10. I figure it's worth a try for that price point. Much easier to stomach than the outrageous $49 Samsung wants. I guess the biggest concern is whether it'll make my wrist breakout.

I just received a blue one from ebay. Little difficult to clip in, but seems secure once attached. Band is a bit more flimsy than samsung bands. Clasp is shiny instead of a matte. I'm also concerned about what it will do to my wrist. So, I guess we will see.

The clasp seems to bother my wrist more than the Samsung straps I have purchased.

At least you got yours. The vendor emailed me last week saying that it was out of stock and then canceled my order and refunded me. Could you post a picture of it?

What color did you order? I thought I was getting a dark blue and a light blue. The light blue looked like a baby blue on the listing but it is more like a fitbit slate blue.

And I assume online preorders are shipped today too... Scheduled release date was 24th.
No displayed demo unit though, and no actual videos on YouTube yet surprisingly.

Thank you. It should still be LOKI safe.
I'm assuming the answer is going to be no, but any chance that the red Galaxy S4 got rid of the smearing issue?

As long as its still on the older firmware the issue has not been resolved. Look at ROM's like Mint Jelly. They use the latest Samsung firmware, and it has fixed the smearing issue.

it's a kernel issue; you have to flash KT kernel or another MEA samsung base to get the smearing issue to go away.

I just picked up the red one and put a black/clear Ringke Fusion case on it to show off the back. The Black/Red contrast is actually quite nice in my opinion and really stands out.

Gear 2/Neo Strap replacement?

I remember reading that the Gear 2 was compatible with .22mm watch bands.
I was wondering if anyone has tried replacing the straps?

I'm not sure on the exact width of the band but it's designed for 18-22mm use.

I would assume that means it's 18mm, so will work in anything above 18mm. Thank you for the reply. The reason I asked, it appears there is a tiny gap on either side of the band where it connects to the watch. I am going to order a 22mm band, but I have to find one I like. I do like the stock band, but wish it had one more hole on the strap. It fits just a little too snug for my liking.

Thank you. That confirms my assumption. The band itself is 18mm, but there is an adjustable shim or something inside the band to keep it from sliding back and forth.
The effect though makes it appear that there is a gap on both sides of the watch band. A standard 22mm band should not have that small gap.
Thank you greatly for the photo.

nice strap!
looks like 22mm is the way to go then.
looks good to me!
All the 22mm watchbands I was using w/ my Pebble work with the Neo. Problem being, the NATO straps cover up the heart rate monitor and make it hard to charge without loosening the strap. I just got the 2 piece 22mm version of those straps and they work great. Do yourself a favor and pick up the pin remover tool to make switching bands fast and easy.

Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

I know this phone hasn't even been released yet so this thread is a little premature BUT hear me out.
Last year from what I can see from the Moto X 2014 threads was that there was not a single tempered glass screen protector that actually worked thanks to a slight curve at the edge of the glass. Which makes me think it could possibly be the case this year also.
I know one tempered glass screen protector is actually now available to pre-order on Amazon ... although it does have a in stock date of Dec 2015.

Preorder Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal

Hi all,
I was looking at cases for the Pixel XL on Amazon and eBay and I came across what seems to be a new branch of the Neo Hybrids. This has a colored bottom and the top part of the case that would be over the glass back is clear. Pretty neat in my opinion. FYI if you want to order one of these it seems to be $2 cheaper on eBay @ $15.99 versus Amazon $17.99, and the shipping time frame is faster on eBay. I personally ordered the blue one that i will use with my Quite Black. I think it would look nice. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks
