		<description>An easy way to effectively correct the problem is to paint the whole metal strip with transparent nail paint (nail varnish/polish), if you paint it carefully and with care, you get a very nice glossy finish and very very thin (paint carefully by putting your phone vertically and painting strip by strip from the top to down, do not cover the same area more than 1 time, paint slowly but in a single run for best result).

This is a solution that is often used on integrated circuits for insulation. There will be however a signal disruption (radio propagation theory will help you) if you grip it, but, both antenas will not interfere because of conductivity anymore.

If you feel it doesnt do the work you wanted, you can easily remove it with nail polish remover, again carefully and slowly.

Done it on mine, works perfectly, and you dont even see it. You can however feel that theres a different texture, but it is not unpleasant, just a little bit different, if you can afford to buy 4-5 packs of that nail varnish you can pour it on a plastic vase and dip your phone side into it, but i woudnt recomend it because if you fail and let your phone drop or something it can have some nasty results.

Oh and remember to let it dry properly, ask a girl, they know about those things :) (mine helped me)

Good luck :)</description>

		<description>So, why should you have to buy an expensive case or bumper to workaround a bad design by Apple on a $600 product?  (Yes, it&#039;s a $600 product whether you only paid $199 for it with the subsidy, since you&#039;re making up the other $400 stuck in a contract.)

I never use cases or screen covers on my iPhone unless it&#039;s an extended battery case and I&#039;ll be away from a charger too long.  Part of the iPhone&#039;s appeal is it&#039;s physical appearance - now I have to cover the thing up in an ugly plastic case to get it to function?  Lame, Apple, lame.</description>

		<description>When looking at the phone...the LEFT side antenna is for the WIFI, Bluetooth. The RIGHT side it for the signal. 

While holding your creating a bridge between the 2 antenna&#039;s...causing the low to no reception. I just purchased a rubber cover to protect the phone and now I have full bars while holding the phone. Not quite a fix for Apple&#039;s mistake, but it&#039;s a work around.</description>

		<description>Black strip = antenna.... How retarded can you get?

Of course the *metal* left and right of the strip is the antenna dumbsh&amp;t! 

If you touch both parts of the antennas with sweaty hands you change the frequency characteristics of the antenna by enlarging the conductive area.</description>

		<description>I havent had a chance to try it yet, but anyone tried turning off the wifi/bluetooth then trying the &quot;deathgrip&quot;?</description>

		<description>Haha. What a joke! Spend all the money for a piece of crap. Reception Fix?? I don&#039;t think so.</description>

		<description>Incidentally, it even says don&#039;t cover &quot;both sides of the black strip in the metal band&quot; right there in the official message, not &quot;don&#039;t cover the black strip.&quot;</description>

		<description>Joe&#039;s right, didn&#039;t you guys watch the WWDC? Steve said the metal strips form two different antennas, 3G and Wi-Fi. The black band is the insulation between them. If you cover that and form a connection with your hands, they start cross-talking and disrupting each other&#039;s signals.</description>

		<description>err the black lines are not the antenna&#039;s! the entire side is an antenna, the black line is where the different antenna is separated. my guess is that by by effectively joining the two with your hand, signal is disrupted!</description>
