AWrapForThat has come up with a simple and easy solution for iPhone 4 users experiencing reception issues.
The company is selling an easy to apply vinyl skin that wraps around the edges of the iPhone 4 shielding the antenna from interference caused by contact with your skin.
Durable premium grade 3M Vinyl for easy application and residue free removal. Designed to fit the unique contour of the iPhone 4, our skins provide a shield from the "death grip" while ensuring zero interference with docks, chargers, and other accessories.
Each skin wraps completely around the perimeter of the phone with cut outs for the speakers, SIM card, headphones, etc.
Currently they offer a clear wrap, 8 solid colors, and 12 patterns. Each wrap costs $9.99.
Apple should gave a free bumper inside the iphone 4 box, the same way nintendo wii gave protectors because people were complaining about throwing away and damaging the wii motes. If they had do that at the beginning most of the people would use the bumper since the beginning and less people would notice the reception problem. My personal and humble opinion.
My hats go off to all the companies trying to find solutions to the Apple issue of iPhones shorting out. Nice to know some people out there are hearing the customers issues and providing solutions for them. (Hint for you Apple)
Now my sarcastic message:
You see though, I think Apple did this to the iPhone on purpose so that they can help in aiding to other companies that make cases, allowing these companies to get in on the "cash band wagon" of the iPhone release. I think that was very heart felt and sweet of Apple to do!
Then i find this wrap nicer.

So really all this problem adds up to is that if you "short" out the two different antennas with your hand (and if you push on the stainless steel tighter, you decrease the resistance further), then all you need is an "insulator" to prevent the contact.
I'd think a small piece of Scotch Tape would do the trick over that left lower gap.
Not $9.99, but still a 3M product !
