Sword Aluminum Case...Anyone used one?

So I found some interesting results with my 4s for the 3G and Internet. The first two pictures are without cases and after that with the case. Bear in mind these speeds are at off peak times, peak times the 3G is variable so thought this would make it more accurate doing it at off peak.

interesting....seems like you can still get decent wifi connection with the case on, just not as consistently?
Don't buy it!!!
I bought this case and after i placed it on my 4s the signal dropped to almost nothing, battery started to heat up because i guess it kept on trying to get a signal and battery life went to crap again saw it drop from 90% to 75% in less then 45 minutes. Don't buy this case, i did read somewhere that if you remove the rubber around the case and replace with electrical tape the reception gets better. I have not yet tried this because i went back to the black ops.

Thickness? idk like i said i read it on a youtube review from a poster. I have not done this myself I went back to the black ops. Myabe because the sword fully encloses the phone side antenna, who knows I do not it is crapola wrapped in a nice looking bumper. And it is to bad because i really like the looks of it hence why i bought it.
The black ops only have a few points of contact and openings, maybe that is what the sword needs.
