"Dingo" Dave's rants and raves

I received my new case, gratis from Apple, although the case I picked from the FreeCase application was from Speck (The PixelSkin model). It looks and FEELS really nice. The back is a checkerboard style that really gives you a good grip, and the case over all doesn't increase the size more than 1/8 inch.

But the good news is, it definitely stops the Death Grip loss of signal. I tried several different grips on the phone and watched the bars stay where they originally were.

I did notice over the past few weeks that I no longer have a full 5 bars all the time, so the software fix they put in iOS 4.0.1+ is definitely making a difference in how it shows the availability of signal.
