Seidio Active X Case Question

Have any of you ordered this case in the red color?

If so - would you describe the color as accurate to the website?

I'm asking this, because I was expecting a rich red colored skeleton, but what I received was a smokey mauve color instead. More plum colors, and no rich reds.

When I contacted them, they said that because of color calibration of my computer, it's difficult to accurately represent colors. I get that, but this isn't even close to the color by any stretch of the imagination.

I LOVE the feel of the case, and will continue to use it, I'm just wondering if somehow I got one from a run that might have been off on the color during production?

My co-worker bought the same one, and I got mine the day before he did. His response? "Well, that's disappointing, it almost looks purple - it definitely isn't red". His is the exact same color as mine.
 
You know, if you're happy with the case then does it really matter? Mine is "burgandy" and looks good to me.

It matters to me, because I chose that color because that was the color that I wanted. If the color didn't matter, I would have chosen black.

But thank you for your input on the color that yours was.

Agreed.. Thats an assinine statement.. If he ordered a new car in red, and it came in purple he would be displeased...

As for me i ordered the Purple one and it is deff purple..

I would send it back and exchange it, make them send you another. If its wrong as well, then i dont know...

Can you post a photo? You should be able to post a photo of the case from their website, and another photo of the case you received, and we can all see if it's the same color or not, and monitor calibration shouldn't come into play....

Sure can! Will do so tomorrow - just got in from the movies, and lighting isn't that great at night in my apartment.
 
Looks pretty close to the website to me from here. I wouldn't call it a BRIGHT red, but your case looks pretty darn close to as advertised. Which, noticing now, says Burgundy. Checked the Surface stock picture versus the one I have on my TB, also in Burg. And looks pretty close there too.
 
I don't know guys, I see a pretty clear discrepancy between the two. It's as if the color of the actual case was desaturated compared to the picture. The deep color in Seidio's picture just isn't there.
 
I think it is as expected from the website shot...I was expecting like a BRIGHT red, but when I saw the pics it looks pretty similar.

I have had it happen to me before tho...where it looked WAY different online then in person, but those look very similar.
 
I can see an obvious difference in person looking at the case I have vs. what I view on the screen.

But I can also see how it looks closer when comparing actual pictures, thus validating Seidio's explanation.

Still wish it was closer to the color I was expecting. However, I'll live. :)
