Also, is the velcro really thin and cheap? That's typically a noticeable difference. When I had braces in Minecraft I had SB, PSA and an obvious fake, and they all worked the same. |

I have 2 SBA3 knockoffs (They work great FYI) and they DO have the SB logo on them... One way that I have found is the top loop on the fakes have less real estate for the strap. How'd I find that out? Switching to the split fix straps. |
| Hard to tell.It has the 4 dimples on the back of the brace on the rubber/arm insert area and has the shiny roll pins but some of the extra flashing on the rubber makes me question it. With that said, the fakes that are out there are quite good and the fakes have less rattle on the tube. |
Be the change you want in this world.

Personally I prefer the fake ones I picked up awhile back over the real ones. I can't even tell the difference between them anymore other than the real ones have more play around the buffer tube. The fake ones are a lot tighter around the buffer and basically require more force to get it on the first time. That's why I like the fake ones though. It fits on the buffer tight and doesn't wobble. |
