Reddit mentions of Case-Mate - Xenon Case - Marsala

Here are some photos of my RG AWS with three of Casemate's bands for the 38mm AW. I'm calling these "ladies' bands" since at least one was part of their so-called "Ladies Collection," but obviously if you're a dude into this aesthetic and you own a 38mm watch read on.

1. Casemate Champagne Band (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Smartwatch-Replacement-Apple-Watch/dp/B00YSIHTPY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450809771&sr=8-2&keywords=casemate+apple+watch): Found this for $12 on Amazon. Also seems to be very cheap on eBay. The material is like one of those jelly sandals from the eighties/nineties (remember getting pebbles stuck in the treads?). It seems like a good way to execute a glittery band since the glitter is inside the plastic band and will never fall off. On the downside, the band is not as flexible as a silicone band and the hardware connecting the band to the watch is clearly visible through the material, which sort of messes up the aesthetic. It's sized similarly to the s/m apple sport bands.
   
   
2. Casemate edged leather band in white/hot pink (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Smartwatch-Replacement-Apple-Watch/dp/B00YSH3EVS/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1450809771&sr=8-13&keywords=casemate+apple+watch): I found this for $16 on eBay. It looks great on the watch. Fits similar to the s/m apple sport band. The leather is pretty thick and stiff; hopefully breaking in will help. Note the way the leather sort of puckers around the buckle holes when bent, which could indicate poorer quality/lack of longevity. Hopefully it holds up to wear but time will tell.
   
   
3. Casemate edged leather band in tan/blue (http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Smartwatch-Replacement-Apple-Watch/dp/B00YY4X8HU/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1450809771&sr=8-10&keywords=casemate+apple+watch): Got an open-box version from Amazon for $35. Absolutely love the colors on this. Same thickness/puckering issues as the white/pink model. The sizing felt a little awkward on this one...whereas with the white/pink strap I was comfortably on the second to last hole, that hole was WAY too loose in this color and the third-to-last hole was just slightly tight. Hopefully with breaking in this will resolve.
   
   Note for all of these bands: the buckle hardware is super thick, so if you do a lot of typing and think having a hulking buckle under your wrist will be annoying, you'll want to pass on these bands. The connections for all three bands felt solid; no overhang and the bands clicked into place when I slid them on.
