I got the orange one with my purple pro max. Don’t usually go for such a bold case but a bit of colour is quite nice!

I got a second Ink case because the first was a little damaged. Now when comparing both side by side, I noticed that the replacement one was a tiny bit brighter, which made the blueish/purple tint a little more prominent. So it seems that the Ink version also varies in production quality, which could add to the different perception a lot of people get from their cases.

That's good to know. Once my store has more in stock, I will go slide-open (carefully) a couple boxes and see if there is any variation.

Got the Ink case. In person it matches the deep purple iPhone quite well. Under direct sunlight there's more purple showing up. It's hard to capture the real color. You see from my pictures it looks more blue than the iPhone, but what I see with my naked eyes is a little more purple, closer to the iPhone color. Overall I'm extremely happy with the Ink color.

Did anyone notice the cases seem more snug this year?

Both the Ink Apple case and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid were a fight to get off compared to those same models for the 13 Pro.

I’m using a ink color case with a black 14 PM also using a ink MagSafe wallet. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Apple leather case. It is super snug but I think over time it will loosen up. All in all it’s a good case.

Yeah, I had a real hard time removing it. Just wanted to try it, the case won’t be used until I pass on the 14PM to my girlfriend next September.

I have just bought the case and can confirm it is indeed a dark purple.

In some lighting conditions it looks like a navy or black but in bright sunlight it does show the dark purple colour.

Super happy with this case as there aren't any nice third party purple ones.

I'm not sure what color the case is, but I'm happy with the deep purple and ink leather case combo. My wife gave it the nod as well.

I always like the thought of a naked iPhone, but I don't like the feel in my hand. I don't look at my phone much in admiration anymore, so I choose comfort.

Here’s my wife’s purple pro and ink case. They’re closer in real life than the picture, and she’s happy with how they go together. These are very hard to accurately photograph. Using a 13 Pro I get *completely* different colors depending if I set the focus on the phone or the box. One of those situations where seeing them in person, if possible, really helps.

Just picked up my phone and the case a couple hours ago. The case it great. You are right, in sunlight the purple really shows.

Feels a bit darker than the photo I took.

I had the ink but took it back once I opened it as it looked navy to me. I got it before the phone and never compared them in person. I ended up exchanging for the elderberry. Now I’m wondering if I should have waited.

Haha this ink case is wild. Some people see it as purple in lit conditions while others say it’s still a dark navy! Seems like anyone who is interested should just go see it in person

Yeah you should’ve. It’s a stunning looking combo. But so is the elderberry! I currently have the ink leather, but just ordered the elderberry as well. I love how both combinations look.

I noticed that the buttons on the Apple leather cases don’t click as clearly. Misaligned? I got Midnight and Ink and returning both. Looking for another case. Maybe I’ll use a sleeve. It’s inconvenient to take out and put away as it takes two steps, but using a naked iPhone is quite nice.

Too slippery naked? Buttons on naked iPhone much better. Sometimes too slippery for me, but a good width while holding. Anything more than leather I find holding it too wide.

I just don’t like feel. I prefer leather feel and only case I’ve chosen for years.

I have the Ink Blue and the Midnight. Not sure which one to keep, I like the Ink Blue as it is right now but I am concerned how it will age. The leather cases I have had for my 12 an 13PM went black around the corners and I am not sure will look good on the Ink Blue, the Midnight did also but the colour hides it well. The older leather cases used to age so much better than the new ones. I would love the Umber if I knew it would age like the old Saddle Browns but for what they cost I can't justify buying more than one.
