GelaSkins and iPhone 4

[reemas]

Anyone try this out yet? I've used them in the past on my iPhone 3G and 3GS and have enjoyed them a lot.

I am more curious though how they are handling the reception problem as the company claims they help deal with the issue.

Haven't tried it myself, but saw on tuaw.com that someone had used gelaskins to make this:

I thought that was pretty cool

thanks for the link. the photos were helpful.

i'm still very curious how these affect the antenna issue though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the GelaSkins are applied to the sides also, and would therefore insulate the antenna from human touch, so yes, I believe they would prevent the antenna issue as your skin is no longer bridging or affecting the impedance of the antenna.

However I am no expert in radio frequencies, but I am an engineer and the same rule of thumb applies where insulating is concerned.

Logan ,
You're absolutely correct.
