An appeals court struck it down, not the Indiana Supreme Court. "Indiana officials ridiculed the decision and said it would be appealed to the State Supreme Court."

Mitch & friends appealed and won at the state level. The law is in full force. Interestingly enough, all the stories I've heard about voters unable to cast ballots because of it have involved the elderly (a bunch of nuns who don't drive were denied ballots) and veterans who were incensed that the military IDs they presented do not pass muster
