How-to: rubber bracelet fix for iPhone 4 antennae
Those silly silicone bracelets that people wear on their wrists to support various causes fit perfectly around the iPhone 4 and effectively mitigate the antenna/reception flaw. Who knew?
Lifehacker figured out that those silly silicone bracelets, (like the yellow, Lance Armstrong "Livestrong" variety) fit almost perfectly around the perimeter of the iPhone 4 and effectively block skin (and coins and keys) from shorting out its novel, if flawed, external antennae.
So while Apple may be fresh out of its ridiculously-priced bumper cases, you probably already have a solution collecting dust in your junk drawer. And it won't cost you a king's ransom.
Now if I could only find something as interesting to do with all the Silly Bands in my house.
