It's been almost 3 months now and I've noticed the back is turning quite purple on the edges again. Really all my TP has seen is gentle pocket time, and I haven't noticed any color come off in my pockets but it's definitely coming off the case. Time for me to hit it with another dose of black tonight probably.
My cover is turning redish/purple around the edges too. Kind of like a black Sharpee marker on plastic color.

Gonna redye and go after the blue next.
