Cute Antennaids Bandage Your iPhone 4 Reception Boo-Boo

To solve the iPhone 4 Antennuation problem (or, at the very least, the PR disaster of that problem), Apple’s giving out millions of dollars in free cases to anyone who bought an iPhone 4… but maybe they should have saved their money and just shipped out some of these adorable, Band-Aid style Antennaids instead: $4.99 will patch the signal boo-boos of up to six iPhone 4s, although without a kiss from Papa Steve first to make the hurt better, who can really say how effective they will prove to be?

Well they’re made of vinyl – which doesn’t conduct electricity – so should work as well as looking amazing!

They’re cute but they make the iPhone look cheap and nasty. Steve would never approve of something like that, unless they were unibody aluminium.

Scotch tape is even cheaper but they would make a good conversation piece and they come in multiple colors too.

I’ll wait for the Eminem version Steve Jobs mentioned in the Q and A.

That is pretty cool. I would get one if I had an iPhone 4.

Pretty snazzy…I too am tired of hearing about this antenna problem. Apple should have spoken up (fessed up) to this problem in the beginning instead of allowing the conspiracy to elevate it!
