Black oval shape on iPod touch 5G???

Why there is a black oval shape on the right back of iPod touch 5G?


If I am not wrong this black oval shape exists on iPod Touch 3G, but then disappeared on the 4G. And now it's back?


What is the use of it?


Would be perfect look without it stick on the back?

If it is the same as the 1-3G iPods, it covers the antenna and allow the signal to get to the antenna. The singanl will not go though metal. For the 4G they uses a different method.
