Struggling to change Versa strap

[breeze77]

I have just tried to swap straps from the special edition straps to the classic that were also included.

I have really struggled and have now given up.

Its almost like the classic straps are just a tiny amount too big to fit in the space as I cant even get them in to move the pin into lock position.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks? I understand how it is supposed to be done (and got the special edition straps back on) its just that the classic ones dont sit far enough into the gap for the pins to get into place.

Thanks

Yes, you need to put the connecting end of the band in at quite an extreme angle. Once you get the angle right it will go in no problem.

Thanks. Will try again when my fingers have recovered.

I'm also strugging - can't get the new silicone strap on at all 😞 Watched various videos and decided it's all witchcraft.

Did you get your on? What's the knack?

I find the bands very difficult to change.  Sadly, @N8teGee 's "no problem" is my problem. 

It is important to note that the silicone bands have a ridge in them.  It must be in the groove of the Versa case.  I also managed to break a pin.  Lucky for me, I found this tool and pin set on Amazon.  I also found that once I DO manage to get a band on, it it much easier to switch later.  I now have three other purchased accessory bands.
