Currently rocking a Midnight leather case and a Tanned leather cardholder on my iPhone 14 Pro.

They posted up the orange ultra buttons for sale, so hopefully they dont take long to to Do the same with the case. Im sure they would have updated their instagram stories with a video of all the boxes arriving if they actually got them today
Yea, the ultra-orange buttons have been available for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised if the cases are not in or shipping tomorrow 10/7 ;) As slow as they are, I'm thinking November :confused:

Looks sharp! I’m sure this was asked & answered elsewhere, but is midnight leather this year different from last year? I had one for 13PM and it was very slightly blue; wasn’t black. Is it black this year?
It is still almost, kinda black with a slight tinge of navy blue

Not entirely black, it's definitely a very dark blue. I have a black leather case for my older IPhone 12 Pro, which is truly black.

Here you see them side by side, under a daylight bulb:

I go caseless probably 75% of the time. I also like reading up on cases to know the ones to purchase for the other 25%.
I used to go caseless — for my whole iPhone-owning history, in fact, until I started using Pro Max models. At that point it seemed impossible to wrangle this giant heavy steel-and-glass beast without the comforting grip of a case.

This year I'm downscaling to a non-Max Pro, and I'm tempted to go back to my naked-phone ways. Only I've gotten accustomed to having a MagSafe wallet (Apple, leather, black) — so I think I'm going to try carrying my space black iPhone around with just the wallet attached, which should provide a sort of pad to rest on. If that still feels dicey, I'll add an Apple leather case in, I assume, midnight, to keep everything matched up.

Welp if this isn’t a shining endorsement for the Apple leather case I can’t imagine what would satisfy.

I just attached my shiny new toy to a kite string and strung it up into the air above our house. I’d say it made it about 40 feet up before just dropping out onto the new pavement behind our house.

Two corners had popped out but other than the tiny scuff in the bottom left corner the phone is pristine. 👏

What’s really strange is the area around the DI is fine in person. Everything looks normal now and did when I took those photos.

That is awful drop protection as always with Apple cases. One decent drop and they crumble like a chip.

Why not? I still have a perfectly good phone and a case with a little more character than it had this morning. What’d you do with yours today?

So I got this delivered today from Amazon. Will test it out more tomorrow. It is an ok case but nothing to write home about. Anyone else ever purchase anything from them?

Honestly my 14 PM midnight leather case is more blue than the one I had for my 13. I love it though bc navy blue is my favorite color

That white thing above the DI scares me pretty bad 🙄
