Just to add that I've also just bought a leather loop from the Apple Store, and it's also in the plastic box.
Maybe still old stock?
I have to admit that I checked before I purchased, I think that for that price it should come with a premium packaging. I think it's very handy for storage.

That's not old stock since it's midnight blue rather than 'bright blue', a revision made in September. :)

Well spotted!! Was it only a name change to match cases and sports band, or was the colour itself altered?

You are seriously complaining about the quality of the packaging of an accessory?

This reminds me of a customer that complained to me (working in the computer industry) years ago because the company I worked for switched the packaging on our keyboards from having styrofoam on the top and bottom of the keyboard, to just having it on the top (over the keys). I asked if he had received any damaged keyboards and he said no, but he didn't think the keyboards were packaged well.

You know your products are doing well when people complain about your packaging. My only complain with Apple on packaging is that I think they could do with a lot less of it and still get the products delivered safely.

Can't please everybody.
