Buyer Beware: Don’t Trust the Reviews!!!
I posted an honest review of this company but forgot to add photos. So I posted a second review to add the photos. Later I receive an email from the company saying they couldn’t post my photos because they were not of items I purchased from them only Apple. They were absolutely photos of their bands as well as bands purchased from Apple. I posted photos of Apple’s bands and theirs to show the discrepancies. The reviews title was Great Bands, so it was posted to their website. The first review was not posted so I’m posting here in hopes that it will help others regarding purchasing bands from i-cessories.com or not. I thought this was a great company and even said so in my review; however, after how they’ve behaved over an honest review I no longer support them!!! Here is my original review they wouldn’t post: I ordered three Nike sport style watch bands in colors that are no longer available from Apple or Nike to match some of my Nike shoes. I ordered based on the many reviews stating that they are the same as the authentic Apple watch bands... they are NOT the same. Apparently the people saying these bands ARE “the same as the Apple bands”, and that they “are equal to or better than the Apple bands” must own other replicas and not genuine Apple watch bands. Case and point, the holes on these bands sit higher and are not as smooth as the genuine Apple bands. Some of the holes on the bands are even different sizes. The holes on the s/m are larger than the m/l on the two darker bands. The authentic Apple bands are a tad longer and wider than these bands, have a nicer feel, and are definitely made from a different material. Other than that, I’d say they’re a pretty decent dupe/replica of the Nike Sport Bands. That being said; overall, if you’re just looking for an inexpensive band for your Apple Watch, then these are for you. However, if you’re as picky as I am, then these aren’t for you. As for me... I’ll still might wear these during my workouts to match my shoes, but not so much to other public places. Please note, this company never made claims that they were identical to authentic Apple watch bands. The company even clearly states that their bands are thinner. Nothing at all against this company... I’m just too picky like I stated earlier. I must admit though that I’m tempted to try the Nike Sport Loop Band replica to see how they compare with the real McCoy... maybe, lol. Also, the colors of the bands were great, and were packaged nicely, shipping time to Texas was really good, (especially for USPS), and customer service is top notch! Furthermore, I paid less for these three bands than what I usually pay for one authentic Apple Watch Nike Sport Band, making these bands an excellent value!!!
