Can anyone explain why it's just the black stripe that is the problem area. If half of the outside metal band is the antenna, why is the black stripe the only problem area? If it's as simple as making a connection between the two pieces with your finger, does a plastic shield like one from Zagg (see link) solve the problem? Thanks.
