    when not directly in a light source it's really hard to distinguish a midnight blue lid from a jet black lid. it's that dark. however when directly in a light source it's clearly blue.

    I got mine today, it's much like the picture, though I'm under bright lights at work - it never looks black to me.

    I'm at work, and I'm going out tonight right from work, if I had my cable I'd try some cell phone pics, but I don't.

    And the webcam can't take pics of itself.

    It's probably a finger smudge. It does pick up the oils on your skin.

    it wasn't dirty at all when i took these. it's either the camera or the micro-satin finish of the laptop that makes it look like that.

    Digital cameras do tend to pick up things that our eyes or a regular 35mm camera cannot. My old digital camera, a Canon Powershot A520 was great at picking up stains on shirts and dustballs that we couldn't see with our own eyes. The first picture of the midnight blue looked dusty to me, not dirty (or could be the Micro-satin's reflection in the room's lighting).

    It's because you didn't switch your camera to macro mode while being that close.
