I guess if you're in a strong reception market, losing a bar wouldn't be that bad. WiFi would certainly be a bummer though. As for NFC, it's still not really that important is it?
A little update on this. I bought The case and received it today.. It's is a beautiful case.. Nice and protective... But it Kills the signal... I mean I didn't have LTE at all today.. It's a bummer considering the beauty that is this case...
