Comes in rose gold, gold, silver, and black.

Magnetic Milanese Loop Stainless Steel Replacement Bands $11.88 - $12.88 / Free Shipping

☆ Full Body/Screen Protector ☆

Those are just a few for now.

& If anyone wants to add to this thread, for any other accessories they find. So we could just come on this thread to look what others have posted and we don't have to keep searching all across the web. It would be super helpful and appreciated!

Has anyone recieved any accessories for the Ionic? If you did, how do you like it? 

[N8teGee]

I received my Skinomi protectors. Decided to run it naked for now as I like the look and feel of the glass. I'm kinda leaning towards the way of leaving it like that.

Are there protector available that do not only protect the glass, but the case as well?

I'm more concerned about the case. If I understood well the glass is very hard.

Replacement bands not yet available here, the are expected in a week or so.

Yes @FastEddy- there are some options. 

that goes on the screen and frame 

It fits around the frame and acts as a bumper for the screen. It also comes in different colors or just plain clear.

I ordered the Ionic Case that you mentioned in clear, as well as a rose gold milanese band. They should be arriving tomorrow. I have the burnt orange Ionic, and do not want to hide the beautiful color of it, but also want to try to protect it. I am not too worried about the screen with it being gorilla glass.

@SunsetRunner does the band lock into the body well? Clicks in securely?

I am going with the clear case too. I still wanted the color of the frame to show through too.

Yep. There is a slight gap, but I’ve pulled it and doesn’t come off. Fun fact you can remove the Milanese loop since it uses the standard 22mm bars used in pebble time. So any 22mm bands work. Currently have my pebble time steel band with my ionic

I tried one of those magnetic bands with my Charge 2, and it simply wouldn't hold my device in place whenever I wore long-sleeved garments -- putting on a jacket, for instance, meant knocking the Charge 2 off of my wrist.  So, I would appreciate any comments about how well the magnetic bands have been working.

Meanwhile, I have the Charcoal / Smoke Gray Ionic, and while I believe it has the darkest-colored band, I find it far too conspicuous.  So, I purchased a rather plain black band, made of similar materials with a similar clasp, from Amazon.  I'm exceedingly happy with it -- it makes the Ionic seemingly less noticeable on my wrist, and it actually fits better than the OEM band -- its holes simply are spaced better to fit my wrist.  Very happy with what was a ten-dollar investment.

@SunsetRunner Can you link the band that you got? I want a black band. I thought the band we got was going to be darker. 

[N8teGee]

@SunsetRunner I had a milanese loop band for my Blaze, the magnet on that one was very strong. I would hope the same of the Ionic one, maybe you had a faulty one for your Charge 2?

Here you go:

Not really any difference from the OEM band in terms of materials, quality, and design, from what I can tell.  Just a simple black band.  Also, Amazon Prime shipping was a requirement for me, which was part of why I chose this one.

I'm not even sure what brand name my band was -- I'd have to go slogging through some old records.  The magnet held quite well while wearing it, but whenever I tried to put a jacket on or take it off, I would always dislodge the band to the point where I'd have to take the jacket off, put the Fitbit back on my wrist, and try, try again.  I didn't put up with that for very long.

I field tested this one for two full days. And it did work as it should. I reviewed it on amazon, giving it 3 out of 5 stars. The so-so review was more about the comfort and look of the band, it did function as it should and protected the Ionic. There are other reviews that give it a good rating.

Shipped from China? Where are you located and how long until you received? 

[SunsetRunner]

This Milanese wasn’t shipped from China as far as I’m concerned.

Here is the clear protector. It looks pretty good. I feel better now that it's protected. I'll take a photos with the rose gold milanese band later. 😊
