If your iPhone 4 suffers from the “death grip” antenna problem, you’ve certainly heard by now that Apple will be giving you a free case. If you prefer to use your devices without a case, you probably won’t be happy even with the relatively small Bumper case. The CoolDecal shop at Etsy is offering a simple vinyl decal that wraps around the metal and creates a buffer between your hand and the antenna. The decal is high quality, precision-cut, self-adhesive vinyl. It’s available in a variety of colors and patterns. If you decide you don’t like the decal, it removes easily and leaves behind no adhesive. The vinyl decal wraps are $9.99 each at CoolDecal.

I love this. True innovation and they probably did it without a building full of engineers. LOL Of course Apple had to identify the problem… 🙂
No one believed me this wasn’t a deathdrip issue! it was a shortening issue. No, not like crisco! OK, I am just kidding.

This seems to be the most unobtrusive solution as of yet!
Zagg.com is offering a similar solution based on their Invisishield line.
I prefer this patch:

Just bought 3 Cool Decals. There weren’t many left.
search decals on etsy as their is, at least, one other supplier of similar product. Mine has yet to arrive, but I ordered one that glows in the dark. 2 for $9-. I’d prefer clear to let the design show through. Right now I’m using a 1″ piece of transparent tape and it’s working.
I’m on my iPhone at the moment, and can’t see a link to buy these, can someone send me a link via email please 😀
