Got my band today, looks like me and 2swizzle got the same one lol. I also did a video for anyone who wants to see how they look compared to the silver case-mate strap adapters. Video should be done uploading shortly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh41mwi8Oiw&feature=youtu.be
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Holy crap! My Trendy Phone has got to be the worst business! Sooo, I originally ordered a pair of the adapters from there, but they were out and on back-order, so after sending a few emails with no responses, not to mention trying to use the online chat-which no one ever answered, I cancelled, or so I thought. I sent two emails trying to cancel, and never got a response. Early this week, I get two emails saying the item is still on back-order, so if I would like to just cancel, I could by simply replying to the emails. So I did, to both. Today I get an email that they have been sent... I FINALLY get someone in the chat, who has the nerve to tell me they never received any of my emails. (I'm a system admin, and I know how email works. If the emails did not make it, I would have gotten a failed delivery, or something similar, return email.) Now I have to call my bank to try and put a stop on the payment. My advise to all of you is to NEVER order from these people! And if you have for anything you have not received, do yourself a favor and contact your bank to do the same as me... This is ridiculous. They have no business being a vendor...

[MENTION=2743933]2swizzle[/MENTION] [MENTION=1434794]Lancerz[/MENTION] do you guys have a link to that band? I've got the black stainless mesh. Want one like that with big lugs and a leather band. Will be good after that

This is the one I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/272241554383?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
Sooo supposedly stoel.de is sending me a replacement adapter.. it took forever for them to get to this point and they shipped it and did not give me any notification. Then when I finally got a response they said they sent it with no tracking #??
[Samsung Gear S2] TechBSwift:
I posted the link on my YouTube video which is a couple post above yours. Sorry I don't have it on hand
[Samsung Gear S2] brorex:
Thanks. I also noticed last night that with the band adapters the watch will lay flat on a wireless charger and charge I was going to buy another watch charger but have a bunch of wireless charging pads laying around so no need to buy one now. Really liking the watch a lot more with the adapters
[Samsung Gear S2] TechBSwift:
Ya I'm a huge fan now that I have these adapters
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
Wish I'd never bought these adapters and stainless band. One adapter won't come off the watch now, and the band keeps coming apart at the clasp. My blood pressure is about 400/300 right now. Goddamn you Samsung for putting proprietary connections on this watch.

EDIT: Had to break the one adapter off. Emailed Samsung customer support telling them the story, sent a picture of the broken adapter and requested replacement. Initiated return to Amazon of the band.
[Samsung Gear S2] Lancerz:
Which band did you buy? It is hard to take the adapters off but that's a good thing imo. Don't have to worry about them coming off unexpectedly. I honestly don't ever plan on taking them off anyway.
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
Not hard, impossible. It finally broke trying to get it off.

This is the band I bought.

[Samsung Gear S2] Lancerz:
Ah personally I don't like those watchbands with the clasp like that. These work out so much better https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZJUICW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5rSzxbDGJKQJQ
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
The clasp worked just fine, but every time I opened it, the spring loaded rod that held the one side of the band to the clasp would fall out. Near as I can tell, it's just a bit too short.
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
UPDATE: Sotel is telling me there's no warranty, contact Samsung. Samsung is telling me they're not available in my country, contact the retailer.

Looks like I may end up eating this one.
[Samsung Gear S2] brorex:
I just tried to take my adapters off and they both come off with no problem. On mine it seems the little unlock button has to be in the perfect spot but a little pressure downward and pushing the unlock they came right out. I agree with the other person I guess. I'd just assume have these never come off as opposed to not having them.

Sorry for your luck, can you post a pic of the broken adapter?
[Samsung Gear S2] Mønsters924:
Hello there! ?

Do your adapters hold in place? I mean do they sometimes fall off for no reason? Mine falled off 2 times now in the passed week.. The first time a managed to catch the watch the second time both adapters fall off at the same time and the watch hit the street... The rotating bezel is now scratched...

I don't know why the come off for no reason if i try to take them off they hold in place like a tank have to wiggle them out..

Anyone else having such a problem?

[Samsung Gear S2] myeepad:
Why did your order from those people while you can get one, not matter in black, gold, rose gold or stainless steel...etc for a mere 4 or 5 US bucks in ebay? :p
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Because they weren't available on Ebay here yet... Trust me, I looked, a lot.
[Samsung Gear S2] TechBSwift:
I don't have this issue, where did you buy yours from? Try to switch the adapters around (swap top with bottom adapter)
[Samsung Gear S2] brorex:
I guess I can consider myself lucky that my adapters come off when I want them to and don't when I don't want them to. Yet anyways. I had so much trouble with stock bands breaking that if it weren't for these adapters the watch would probably just be sitting in a drawer with the original gear s that I hated because of the bands.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
My band adapters from Sotel are fine with no disconnect issues.
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
I emailed them about a week and a half ago about one of my adapters not staying in. After some questions and such they said the would send me a single adapter to replace the faulty one. I just received it today and it works great so far!!! I put my band on and it seems to be holding great! (This all happened through sotel.de)
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
Sotel got back to me and asked if a single connector would fix my problem. They stopped short of saying they'd send me one, but it sounds like they might. I didn't expect anything, and honestly I think Samsung should be standing behind their product, not the retailer. But I wasn't overly worried either way.

Meanwhile, I ordered a third party set off Amazon for $7. They're going to take a month to arrive, so I assume they're coming from China. For that price, I can wait.
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
What is the the best/cheapest milanese loop band?
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
As a followup, a single adapter arrived from Sotel.de in the mail today. Excellent customer service, and they really didn't have to. Samsung let me down totally.
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
I received the adapters from My Trendy Phone yesterday (that I tried and tried to cancel...). I'm sure they will not pay for shipping them back, so, does anyone on here want to buy them? I need what I paid out of them unfortunately, which is about $39, plus shipping. I realize there are now fakes on Ebay, but those will take a few weeks to arrive. So, if anyone wants a pair now, let me know! Otherwise, I'll be sending them back to the jack@$$es at MTP.
[Samsung Gear S2] tedkord:
The $7 adapters I ordered from Amazon arrived today. I placed the order on June 23rd, and they were scheduled to arrive anywhere from July 19th to August 4th. Pretty good turnaround time. I'm very pleased. They look identical to the official Samsung ones that I got shipped from Germany.

EDIT: They're maybe a slight shade lighter than the Samsung ones. One snaps on and off easily, the other is difficult. It's won't snap on securely easily, and once you get it on its difficult to remove. I tried each one on both sides of the watch, the one had the came problems on both sides, so it's the adapter, not the port on the watch. Regardless, for $7 I'm satisfied. Now I have a spare set.
[Samsung Gear S2] duckway:
disconnect issue - solved

I solved the adapter disconnect issues I was having .... Superglue!!!

Seriously, after struggling with my watch band coming apart at the gym, or whenever I used my left arm .... Superglue, no disconnects, done!
[Samsung Gear S2] trini1201:
They do come with the adapters I got mine about a week ago, although mine doesn't hold to the watch very well. gonna exchange it or get the classic, not sure yet
[Samsung Gear S2] donc3:
Somebody could give us more info about the telefone.de adapter?
[Samsung Gear S2] MichaelV10:
I am from Austria and Ordered some from telefon.de . They are avaiable again .

They should arrive next week.

I just got my adapter from www.telefon.de

I just got my adapter from www.telefon.de and i want to share some pictures and information with you.

First look:

- the color of the adapter matches the watch pretty well and it seems to be made of the same material as they used for the watch

- the adpater mounts quite good, just a very little bit loose, but i don´t think that this will be a problem

I can´t test the wearing of the adapter with a metal band because i don´t have one yet. :eek:

For pictures just look at the attached files.
[Samsung Gear S2] sflitteral:
Very nice.

So what part of the world do you live in? Glad the color matches well.
[Samsung Gear S2] Sir_Eagle:
They need to get them for sale here in the US
[Samsung Gear S2] darrenjables:
That looks fantastic! Would you happen to know what size band it takes or would you measure it?
[Samsung Gear S2] KillerCookie:
I currently use a 20mm leather band and ordered a 20mm metal band which should arrive in the next days.
[Samsung Gear S2] lgiang94:
Hey can you show us some pictures of the watch with leather band on ??? why ss stil not selling this adapter worldwide yet :(
[Samsung Gear S2] Mønsters924:
Got my adapters today and they are great love them! They are a bit on the expensive side, nearly 30euro but the fit and feel of the watch is WAY better than with the silicone bands!

Baught a temporary metal band (20mm) for 9euro fits perfectly but I'm gonna buy a 22mm one an make it fit myself should look even better.
[Samsung Gear S2] sflitteral:
Nice, I'm glad some of us are getting them. Hoping this summer Samsung will grace us with them here in the USA. :D
[Samsung Gear S2] Mønsters924:
Samsung should including them for free with the watch since the beginning ? but for them it's another way to make some money
[Samsung Gear S2] dug-e-fresh:
Off topic a bit, anyone know or hypothesize what the 5 pin connector is for under the band clasp? Or the hole on the other side under the clasp? My assumption is that the 5 pin is for some sort of smartband if they ever release one and the hole on the other side... another mic?

Anyway, love these adapters... literally the only thing that had me questioning this watch. They appear to be pretty well designed. My only concern would be how easily the "prongs" would be spread apart under tension.
[Samsung Gear S2] Lancerz:
I wish case mate would make their strap adapters in dark grey since theirs works perfectly with Huwaei watch bands. 18mm at the post and the band itself is 22mm.
[Samsung Gear S2] sflitteral:
Doing a little searching on the outer web today and found these pages with a sort of update on the adapters:

Adapters in Germany are only online

Just spent the last few days going to every cellphone and electronic store i could find 3 different cities all the stores said "look online" soo disappointed i live in the states. So ne german address, Just was in country on business. Sorry for venting just throwing it out there

Using the BALR editie watchband! Make this watch soooo cool. I think because this is a aports watch only plastic or silicone straps look cool....
[Samsung Gear S2] Sir_Eagle:
Did the adapters come with the band, or where did you get them?
[Samsung Gear S2] Jeshter2000:

[Samsung Gear S2] Sir_Eagle:
Do you know of anywhere that ships to the US?

Im sorry I do not ...
[Samsung Gear S2] zathus:
Anyone willing to buy them and ship to the us?
[Samsung Gear S2] coolguytoo:
There is obviously a demand for these. Why is Samsung dragging ass on getting these out to the rest of the world? :mad:
[Samsung Gear S2] juvenile43:
Make small profit off band adapter.... or make large profit off people that love the s2 but now want a classy look and buy the s2 classic. JMO
[Samsung Gear S2] zathus:
It's a matter of opinion. I had the classic and returned it for the sport. I felt the classic was a little cheesy looking and quite to shiny. The Platinum might have been an option. But that wasn't out at the time
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Actually, I'm sure the adapters are marketed more to those who have already bought the sport. If I went into a store and saw the sport and classic, saw adapters for the former which cost $25-30 + x amount for a watch band, I would immediately go for the classic if I cared about that kind of look. And, like Zathus mentioned, some people will actually prefer the sport, but maybe not so much the band choices. I think it's more of a matter of making the sport more versatile in giving it more options. So yes, Samsung needs to hurry the heck up! ;)
[Samsung Gear S2] juvenile43:
No i really like the sport too. I just cant see a reason for it to not release everywhere. Its not like they would have production issues with something so simple.
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Um, guys! I found the below website, and it looks like they mail anywhere! I have to wait until Friday to actually order, but I've gotten past address all the way to enter card info. If anyone orders this, let us know if it works for sure! Otherwise, I will likely try on Friday.

anyone found a uk seller? or one that ships to the uk?
[Samsung Gear S2] aerodrew:
I just got my adapters in from a website called sotel.de. I ordered multiple adapters but the shipping charge was quite much(to ship to the USA)

Here is the link(if you are willing to spend more for shipping. not worth it if you are only getting one set of adapters)

https://www.sotel.de/en/Handyzubeho...msung-Band-adaptor-for-Gear-S2-dark-grey.html
[Samsung Gear S2] juvenile43:
This sotel site when i check out with paypal the total is 36 bucks. You said shipping was very high. My question is how much are these things supposed to cost?
[Samsung Gear S2] AliceBToklas:
Please keep us updated. Hopefully it will be in stock before long.
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
Really! Wow these things could make a fortune if they came to the US. 45 bucks though is a lot for 2 tiny pieces of metal...
[Samsung Gear S2] aerodrew:
I ordered multiple items so shipped with FedEx. The shipping costs were in the range of $30
[Samsung Gear S2] ejl2002:
If you guys are on twitter, go to samsung mobile and mention that you/ we are waiting for availability of these adaptors, I already have, but the more we get it out in the public eye, hopefully the more pressure for them.

Social Media might move this along!
[Samsung Gear S2] marcus316:
I just ordered mines forget the price I'm not rich but I want them so I paid the price
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
Did anyone get an estimated delivery/shipping date?:confused:
[Samsung Gear S2] crustyeyez:
Hey, I ordered from Amazon Germany, I'm in UK. Got confirmation of order and that it shipped, was about £38. Week keep you guys posted.
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
I just went through the whole process to buy the dark grey adapters from that sotel.de website and shipping cost ~15 euro with the grand total of 43 euro (~49 US dollars). That is kinda steep for me... I guess that I will have to wait for it to come to America. :crying: I really hope it becomes available soon!!
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
I'm beginning to think ordering mine through My Trendy Phone was a bad idea. They charged my card almost immediately, which is fine, but, I noticed right after I ordered that their site said they were out of stock. I'm not sure if I got my order in before that, so I emailed them. They say they respond to all emails within 24 hours, and I've now sent two and no response... Bah... Seriously, why have these not launched in more markets? This is stupid.
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
Yeah, that really sucks! Hopefully they will respond to your email and you can ether cancel or they can give you an update of some sort.
[Samsung Gear S2] marcus316:
Just got the email mines just shipped it was about $50.00 now I just need to find out what size bands will fit on it

[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
What shipping did you use? And did you get a delivery estimate? The site I ordered mine from had UPS and Royal mail. The latter was $6. My Trendy Phone raised their price too by the way. I think anyone trying to order some should stick to this gentleman's sotel.de. The price I paid before shipping was 26 Euros, it is now 33 Euros...
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
How long did it take?
[Samsung Gear S2] UlmGS6:
Just got mine from telefon.de. The strap is a cheap 20mm mesh one that I got from Amazon. Keep in mind that the adapter comes without the pins. However, my band came with the required pins in order to attach it.

Overall, the adapter is suitable for 20mm straps, seems nice and clips firmly to the watch. The cheap mesh strap is ok considering the cost. Satisfied!
[Samsung Gear S2] Lancerz:
Nice, are you in the US?
[Samsung Gear S2] UlmGS6:
No, I'm in the UK. I got them from a friend living in Germany.
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Definitely do NOT use My Trendy Phone (they're out of stock anyway)! I've sent them 4 emails, and tried to live chat twice, but I never get a response. In the chat, it will say waiting for an associate or something like that, then it will say the associate has left the chat and close. This is not a good company...

I did place an order through sotel.de. A bit expensive on the shipping, but I'm at least paying for airmail, so they should arrive much quicker. I placed the order around noon Central time in America yesterday, hopefully it gets shipped out soon. I'll keep you all posted on its progress.
[Samsung Gear S2] PhillyD77:
That is rediculous. I hope everything gets straightened out for you and the sotel.de ones get there sooner than later
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Thanks! The charge has disappeared from my account for the first place, so at least they don't have my money. I sent them a fifth email to cancel, I'm sure I won't hear back though so I'm going to place a stop for them on my bank account. Anyway, no movement on my sotel.de order yet.
[Samsung Gear S2] gettinwicked:
Aaannnddd of course sotel.de is out of stock. Perfect... Does anyone know of any other sites that carry this and will ship to the US?

Also, click the below link and let Samsung know you would like this available where you live!
