iPhone Signal Problems? Theres a wrap for that.

 

Since the iPhone 4 was launched, many people have noticed drastic problems with the signal when the hold it in their left hand (Read Here) but now one entrepreneur has been very busy over the past few days to make a protector for the side of the iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4 is still under a week old and already awrapforthat.com has made vinyl skins that wrap around the antenna on the device. Why would you want that? Because it apparently it fixes the the so-called “Death Grip” problem.

Now Steve Jobs said that you should "buy a bumper or one of the many available cases" so you could save $20 buy buying one of these skins for only $9.99. Now, these skins are going to be much thinner than the bumper and will only surround the antenna going around the iPhone 4, so there will be almost no protection when dropped. But on the upside, they’re apparently thin enough that the iPhone will fit in the dock with them on, and they come in many different colours and patterns.

iPhone 4 Has Signal Problems?

Well for all of those people who have waited for hours on end for your brand new iPhone 4, you may of been disappointed as there has been many reports of the iPhone 4 having signal problems. Now this only happens when you hold the iPhone in your left hand with the metal band touching your skin. And if you go back to the WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs said that the join between the 2 parts of the antenna join in the bottom left hand corner; so the contact with your hand could be short-circuiting the antenna.

Now this happens EVERY time your touch the bottom left hand corner and it slowly loses signal strength and then eventually drops the call. Not Good. See the video below.

Apparently, the signal problems do not occur when you use a case. Like the apple bumpers for example
