I am waiting on my Sena Slimline case and a Wrapsol Ultra; The Wrapsol will solve the issue in regards to the reception problem; I understand, it's really a fix on the consumers part and Apple should be held to the carpet as it's really their issue. In the mean time, I just discovered a simple solution: I cut a strip of clear packing tape the width of the sides of the phone and less drop off; I dropped from 5 bars to 4. Give it a try...
