    Out of curiosity, does Midnight Blue hide fingerprints better than the Tuxedo black color? Or is it about the same?

    Are you saying that the Tuxedo black attracts fingerprint? I've seen 1530 in person, and I thought the surface is not glassy, fingerprint magnet type?

    The surface is some sort of rubbery plastic, or whatever, and it attracts fingerprints easily on the tuxedo black (my one).

    Yeah they call it microsatin. iPod wise, black attracts and has more noticable fingerprints compared to white. I wonder if midnight blue vs tuxedo black is the same.
