Dear all, for the benefit of everybody, kindly abide to the forum rules when it comes to posting/ showing off your iPhone cases.
A kind note to potential online sellers: Do not try to sell your cases to fellow forum friends or risk getting banned.
Thank you and I hope everyone will get to enjoy nice cases from now on.
SIGNAL DEGRADATION ISSUES
Signal Degradation happens everywhere, look at your Wireless Router for example, Everything around us pretty much absorbs RF, some more than others.
Apple's Antenna design on the original 4 was flawed and that was not a secret, the well known "DEATH GRIP". Their fix was a Black(many other colors) molded Silicone cum Plastic bumper that they were selling for S$48.
The 4S has major improvements over the 4, you won't see as much degradation.
Most important factor is how strong is your signal strength in a location with coverage.
For the benefit of new comers & anybody else who are not clear, Let us not mislead.
There are in fact NO "OEM" Draco, Elementcase, Atomic, Alumacase, E13ctron or even Sword cases in the market.
We all understand that the word OEM does not by any chance mean Fake or Replica. However these self proclaimed "OEM" cases are nothing more than chinese made REPLICAS.
So yes, do not believe when a seller claims that their cases are manufactured by the same company, sub-contracted company, middleman, factory rejects or simply "OEM". There are none! these cases are manufactured by the parent company itself & that's it.
Replica cases quality are not consistent, lose fitting, lousy paint job & signal problems are some examples associated with replica cases. That explains the price difference against the originals.
If you want to save money by buying replicas, you have to really do a deep research before throwing your money into one. There are many sellers nowadays (online & offline) who want to earn a quick buck by selling popular replicas cases & by branding them as OEM thus cause much confusion. Chances are you may or may not be satisfied.
Good luck & enjoy!
