I have never had leathers go completely black unless it was a dark color to begin with. My 2 year old midnight blue leather case is a extremely dark blue color now. If I compare it to the black it is obviously a different color. It will darken yes but I do not see it ever turning black unless you never clean your hands after working in a coal mine.
 
My 6 Plus Midnight Blue is indistinguishable from black now.
I own a Black one also and there is no difference, if I were at home I would take a picture of both.
I think it was a much darker blue to begin with.
Picked up a Midnight Blue for my 7 Plus because that is the only color at the Apple Store that I liked they had in stock.
(Red and maybe Saddle Brown).
I love the color it is now but may return it when they get the Sea Blue in.

Is there anything that can be done to either preserve the color or bring it back to blue (re: iPhone 6 Plus case).
 
I had a midnight blue case that I used on my 6 and 6S. It definitely turned almost black after a few months. I am surprised at how different the Sea Blue looks in all the pictures. I ended up with the saddle brown which is starting to darken up a bit.

Yes indeed. The sea blue does look very different in all the photos.
So far, thanks for all the photos, guys. It's much appreciated.

Looking forward to some more pictures.

Btw, "sea blue" is a great name. I am an ocean person - love everything about seas.

I agree! So much so that I want the sea and ocean blue silicon cases. The sea blue looks nothing like the leather version though. The leather sea blue looks like what you'd get if you combine the silicon sea and ocean blue.

PS. I also just ordered an ocean blue watch band.
 
Apple keeps pushing its availability date back. I was looking forward to availability this thurs. Now it's the 11th. Apple you tease!
 
Mine should be arriving tomorrow according to tracking, but let's see if UPS actually delivers on time.

Sweet. Looks like October 11th if I order today. I just keep waiting thinking the stores will get them sooner. Should have ordered last week.

Why not order one online and keep checking the store as well? You can always return 1 of them...If the one you order online is damaged as well and needs to be replaced, you'll be waiting even longer.

Because this would make sense!!! Haha
 
Is anyone's Sea Blue a bit loose around the side buttons versus everything else? It's noticeable versus my Tan case. I may just have to break it in.

I haven't tried the sea blue yet.

But my fiancé got the saddle brown and it's very creeky and loose.

Nothing like my grey on my 7 plus which is tight and secure
 
My Sea Blue case arrived today. Love it! Here are some pics:
