I think that would be the holy grail for the ultimate Bumper (open back) or Bumper (closed back). No interference with cellular & wifi signals. Plastic but with the look and feel of metal. I haven't found any. Perhaps some of you have seen or tried one. Please chime in if you have.
 
I don't know and don't think that any plastic would actually feel like metal?

I've been using the 2014 Spigen Neo Hybrid Ex Metal. I have not experienced drastic interference in reception so no complains from me.

I'm in a low signal area. Typically at always around -100 to - 115. Any metal case worsens the signal an causes huge battery drain.
 
Yes but the antenna bands are situated or designed to be fully exposed outside the metal housing. Thus the visible bands lining the iPhone metal enclosure you see in the iPhones.
