Has anyone else received their Ink leather case? I think I may have received the wrong color in my box but want to compare with others first.

Hmm that does look a lot like Midnight..

Could you take more pictures in brighter lighting as well? Perhaps in sunlight?
 
What do you mean by wrong color?
It appears to be midnight and not Ink. It matches my midnight watch band perfectly. It looks nothing like the box or what I was expecting. So before I head to an Apple Store, I wanted to see if others had received their case to see if it’s as dark as mine. The box has a purple hue and what I expected.

No sun, but here is under direct light.

I’ve seen some posts people saying it’s more of a navy blue than the dark purple on the box.
 
That looks almost exactly like my 13 Pro’s Midnight leather case, hmm.

That does look midnight. Here is a pic from another thread here of the ink.View attachment 2056045
Thanks to both of you! I think I’ll go to Apple on Sunday and take a look in store. Beverley has them in stock. If this is the color, sadly I think it’s going back. Love my wisteria purple case and this is really dark.

Thanks again!

Whew, I’m suddenly extra-relieved to have canceled my pre-order for a Deep Purple 14 Pro + “matching” Ink case this morning. It took me forever to decide on which color/case combo to choose because although I really wanted Space Black the “matching” Midnight case looked to be a cooler, bluer temperature than the warmish gray-black of the phone itself. These kinds of things drive my analytical eye mad, especially when I’m spending a grand and a half.

In the end I decided to just keep my perfectly-coordinated green 13 mini with Clover Silicone Case, but if I did ever end up getting a 14 (or future) Pro I would probably go with the Silver option. That one seems to go with just about anything.

I’m super excited for the deep purple phone. Just upset that they didn’t make a matching case and/or that my wisteria 13 Pro doesn’t fit.

I didn’t think it was possible for the camera bump to get bigger, but it did.

I hope you enjoy your phone! I know it will be a beaut.

I’m an Apple leather case fan, but not feeling any of the official leather cases for the 14 Pro to go with the Deep Purple. I’ll give the Elderberry silicone case a try, but that looks closer to plum than purple. I haven’t done a clear case in what feels like decades, but that might be the way to go for me this time around (Caudabe’s Lucid Clear has a charcoal-grey magsafe ring option).

I love the leather cases. Without a doubt my favorite case. I think I will use the ESR clear case until spring refresh.

There is no purple in the ink leather case at all. Looks more blue to me. Gonna keep it until I get my deep purple phone then decide. I have heard there are blue tones to the deep purple depending on the lighting.
Agreed. Elderberry Silicone is probably the best option for Deep Purple

Ordered the 14 PM Purple and I think I’ll just check out the Leather cases in the store when I pick up the iPhone next Friday. Really weird that the ink case looks totally different in the box.

I’m going to wait and see how the combo looks before taking it back. The umber/purple combo looks surprisingly nice.

My leather ink case will arrive this Wednesday. I am a bit dissapointed that it seems it is only blue, not purple. OK, the name is "tint", but nevertheless. They finally released a purple phone and don't offer a purple leather case?

But I will wait until I pick up my new iPhone Pro on Saturday and check out how good the match is. Maybe we will be surprised...
