Do any of y'all have this case? I have matte black iP7+ and it looks so neat when I try it at the Apple Store. But I'm wondering how it'll look later. Is it gonna get super black? Any thoughts, very appreciated!

Yah man, I saw those pics. They all look nice. I'm just curious to see how it looks after a few months time with patina / darkening.

I also have it, can't give an accurate answer because I rotate the case I have on my phone every two weeks or so to keep things fresh.

What I can tell you is this:

If you are worried about it turning grimy black, do NOT get midnight blue. If you want a blue that'll hold its own for a a long time, get Sapphire, you won't regret it, Sapphire is also a limited edition colour that probably won't be around for much longer either so yeah

I don't know what some of you people do to your Midnight blue cases, but 4 months in mine is still blue. The sapphire case is just gaudy.

I had an Apple Midnight Blue case on my 6+ that darkened quickly to nearly black. I've had the Sapphire on my 7+ for the last couple months and it doesn't seem to have darkened much at all. I don't think it's been out long enough for anyone to comment on long term usage...

Is there any word on whether or not the 7 midnight blue cases darken as quickly? I've seen (pics) and heard different stories from different people on this forum so can't be sure :(
