Picking this up tomorrow with my iPhone 14 PM. It's like Dark Cherry leather from last year but just in silicone! 😍

I really wish the silicone cases would evolve to have the metal buttons. Then. I would get a silicone case.
Yeah, it changes all the time between blue, purple and black. Weird, but a really cool color.
I got the Ink case to go with the Pro deep purple. It's really a very deep navy - very unlike the color pictured in the Apple Store. Nevertheless, I think it will look great with the phone, and I'm getting the matching wallet today. My Pacific Blue wallet looks bad with the Ink case 😲
Wild guess: I think he means the color isn't right 😂 🤷🏼♂️
If that's actually "ink" then it's indistinguishable from my Midnight iPhone 13PM leather case based on your pictures 🤷🏼♂️ Did you purchase it directly from Apple? I ordered my 13PM case from Amazon and was shocked to find a silicone case inside the leather case box 🤦🏼♂️ So if Amazon could screw that up by not checking (was probably a return they were selling as new) then it wouldn't surprise me if they would sell the right box with the wrong color case inside.
Yep, ordered from Apple.com as soon as the store went live last week after the event.
When I opened it, I was immediately dumbfounded and its why I created the post. It truly does look like midnight. I returned the case for now. I found a nice clear magsafe case that I will attempt to use and hold out for the Spring Refresh. I really like the metal buttons on the Apple leather cases. If I can't stand the plastic, I may cave and rebuy the ink.
The ink colored case looks exactly like the dark blue midnight leather cases Apple used to sell.
Apple changed their "midnight" color a year or two back. Before changing it, it was a dark blue almost exactly like the "ink" color we have now.
Oh, ok. I‘m comparing it to the Midnight leather case on the 12 my girlfriend has. To me it looks just blue but I could be wrong.
After putting iPhone Deep purple inside, I can say that on its own, Ink leather case looks blue-ish. But with the Deep Purple iPhone inside, purple tint pops and it's magnificent !
If true (source?) then what the flip was the point of that? All that would do is confuse customers.
And FWIW, the color shown as "Midnight" on the leather case product page for the 14 looks exactly like my "Midnight" 13PM case I bought a year ago. The color they call "ink" on the website definitely has a more purplish hue to it on the website:
So I believe the OP did indeed receive the wrong color case.
Pictures of cases on computer and phone screens almost always look different than in person.
With that said, here's the midnight iPhone 11 leather case:
Ah, I see where your confusion is. If you look at your link, that color is not "Midnight". It's "Midnight Blue", which is a different color. My 13PM leather case is "Midnight" and it looks exactly as the OP's picture (of a purportedly "Ink" leather case) and the picture on Apple's website.
Here's the two different colors:
Heh, you're absolutely correct. I didn't even notice "blue" at the end of the product title. 😅
That gives me hope. I have an appointment tomorrow to pick up my phone and I very much prefer Apple's leather cases but because of everyone saying it was actually blue I did an elderberry silicone with my order. If the Ink case does indeed go well with the purple and gives off purple hues as well I'm going to go with that. I'll try it at the store.
I'll test out my fiancée's when I get home (I got her the Ink with Deep Purple). Did you use the leather case for the previous model? I noticed that the buttons weren't that clicky for my 13 Pro Max. In my opinion, the last time the buttons felt tactile was for the 12 Pro Max.
I think it just depends on the case and sometimes they need to break in a little for them to get clicky.
Last fall I got a leather case with my 13PM and had great clicky buttons out of the box. A few months later for some reason the case stopped detecting when I put on the wallet so they replaced it under warranty and the replacement had a power button that seemed to feel off (almost mushy). After time it improved and now it feels much more clicky.
That could be it, I upgraded from a 12 and the buttons were really clicky on it. I just got the Forest Green for my 14 Pro and the buttons are a little more firm.
I just got my Mujjo case and it's very similar to the Apple brand leather cases. If it didn't have the company name on it, I might mistake it for an Apple brand case.
