Is this truly the Old Version (before 2013) with the Darker Brown edges? I ask because the 2013 version is very light brown and less desirable to me.

maybe, though I have seen photos (on Amazon) of 2013 versions with dark edges.

If I'm reading these answers right, it isn't pink like it use to be. It's a muddy brown color. I bought some and it is that dark color so I thought something was wrong with it. Just checking with owners to make sure the disgusting color is normal.

The one I have was the 2011 version. I'm not sure about what improvements have been made but this one is still going strong.

Mine is the one pictured and I purchased it in 2012. I do believe there is a newer version that came out for 2014.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

I assume it is because it's from 2012 despite this is the latest version. Just ignore it please,I guess someone made a mistake.

Yes, it was the Diamond Select 2013 reissue. Similar to the 2009 HD edition except it is lighter in color and more screen accurate.

I definitely think it has been altered, I ordered dark brown in April and the color and coverage was nothing like all my previous orders. I am looking for a replacement because of the change. However, I will order it one more time in the event it was a one off.

Mine is different colors than pictured. More primary colors, not the purple hue shown. I'm not sure what else would determine old vs new versions.

Yes it is! It's very Dark brown though. It's also very thin and transparent, but I enjoy mine very much!

the two main buttons on top (left and right click) of the old version have a matte finish that feels very high quality, almost metallic like a media-blasted aluminum. The new ones are shiny plastic and feel MUCH cheaper. Yes they may both function the same, and are both incredibly durable (I travel with mine and drop them constantly), but I'd pay double for the old version over the new. It just FEELS so much nicer to me.

I bought mine in 2013 but am uncertain of whether or not I have that update. Same model and it works great. If you can tell me how to tell if it's the same update I would be happy to check for you.

We're not sure why "2013" appears in the title. This is the current 2015 model. Amazon controls the listing details. We will let them know about the error.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.
