As background: I stopped using Apple's official watch bands when they discontinued the simple 2 strap design with a normal pronged clasp. I didn't want the sports band, the velcro, the metal, etc - I have a metal one for dress attire but it's subject to scratching and doesn't protect the face. This has the massive advantage of a raised rim around the face to protect it. I have a sapphire face but still have had zero injuries to my watch in the years I've had this brand of watch case/strap.

I've purchased the supcase for my series 2 apple watch in black, and over the years it eventually started to show some wear: using it in a pool over 30 times, and the ocean, eventually caused the black to show a little bit of discoloration. So I bought a few more, and this was one of the versions I bought.

The stiffness of the clear version is distinctly different from the solid colors, at least black and green - it it a bit less pliable than the solid colors. It's still quite comfortable, and easy to put on and off. It's similarly easy to pop the watch in and out of, like the others, though it's something I probably wouldn't do ever day, as it looks like it might wear on the strap/case a bit due to the pressures involved. That said, I've done it numerous times and haven't seen any direct evidence of wear to the watch or strap, it just seems like material like this would eventually start to show wear.

The only downside is pinching your arm a bit when sliding the strap loop holder in, but that's minor and never breaks the skin.

The transparent look is pretty cool, it's a smoky type of look with a nice reflective shine to it, so it's almost like a subtle bling look. The clasp being chrome helps a little too.

I think black is still my favorite color for overall look - since it matches the face background color and creates a solid watch look and feel - but this is a wonderful way to mix it up.

This was easy to assemble and use for my apple watch. Very durable and good for the price.

This is my second time purchasing this band. My first one lasted a really long time and kept my watch safe. I hope this one lasts just as long

Worked fine for my husbands watch
