Here's my solution, using electrical tape.

What's weird is that I put three strips of electrical tape on mine and it caused the signal to drop.

Interesting. The signal doesn't drop anymore for me with the tape, maybe because I used only a minimal strip of tape that covered only the joint.

Yes, lets goober up a brand new iphone with residue that can be a PITA to get off

Great idea

Geeze, some people and their ideas....

Given the hard, non permeable nature of the metal that makes up the frame, it should not even leave residue, and if it does, would be very very very easy to simply rub off.

sheesh

You buy an expensive new phone and have to use tape so it works? ...how is that acceptable?

Wouldnt you have to apply new tape once a week as it is bound to deteriorate from wear?

Dont' care.

That electrical tape has been on there over a week and I took the picture today. There is no degradation. I think it all depends on the care you take in applying it.

Tried tape, didn't work for me at all. Have my i4 in a case now and it's helped slightly.
