iPhone Bumper ... I Get It

So, I bought an iPhone 4, having been an iPhone 3G user. The iPhone 4 is a big improvement over the 3G version. I'm very happy with it.

However, I do have the "you're holding it wrong" antenna issue.

It is 100% reproducible. Sometimes I drop from 5 bars to one or 2 bars. Sometimes I drop all the way down to EDGE. (ouch)

I've read about the many theories and possible fixes to this issue.

Today, I decided to buy the iPhone Bumper accessory, which some say fixes the issue.

I have to tell you, it does. I put the Bumper on my phone and I do not see any drop in bars. I realize Apple has stated that the bars I'm seeing aren't really the bars I'm supposed to see. But that doesn't really address that the bars I see (right or wrong) drops dramatically when "I hold it wrong".

So, the Bumper fixed my issue. (actual results may vary by user)

Then I "got it".

It's called the iPhone Bumper, because if you put it on your iPhone, it will "bump" up your antenna's performance. (and it does)

Also, it's a really nice Bumper. Well made. Fits very nice. And it recesses the Vib switch, so I no longer have the issue of accidentally activating the Vib switch when I put the phone in my pocket.

Got antenna issues?

Get a Bumper!
