I don’t want this to seem argumentative, so sorry if it does. Even more so I don’t want misinformation going uncorrected however, and Deep Navy is absolutely not identical to Midnight Blue. There are 2 Midnight Blues that aren’t even identical to each other.

I posted 2 photos and @athousandbands another one that show the difference. It’s a richer, deeper blue and while I agree nobody ‘needs’ both I prefer Deep Navy because it’s different and better to my taste.
I bought a deep navy band and returned it as it was definitely darker than my deep navy iPad pro and iPhone 12 case.

Maybe deep navy isn't IDENTICAL to midnight blue but tis definitely not the same deep navy as the other accessories I mentioned.
 
Wow I know a lot of you have used chargerstore before but I ordered on the 7th a dragonfruit band(still unsure if I can rock a pink band 😁) and it’s entered the uk today! I’m guessing it should be here in a couple of days. That’s fast from China.
Woo hoo!! My Dragon Fruit from Chargerstore shipped on the 4th, entered the US on the 8th, and is estimated to be here later this week or over the weekend...I can't wait.

Sorry, I should have addressed the phone case part - I have no experience there, I am only talking from a Sport Band perspective. My only phone case is Saddle Brown and I haven’t seen the Deep Navy case.
So I need to be talked out of putting a ceramic s5 on my credit card for £950 with 9 months warranty left
I agree with @mikedop - you don’t

The S5 Ceramic is all that, then. Go for it!

P.S. If I was a betting man, I would guess that the Ceramic will not return for a while, if ever. The S7 is supposed to be a re-design and I can‘t see that coming to the most „difficult“ material straight away. Also, sales of the Ceramic are quite probably minimal and Apple may just not bother anymore.
