TPU Case causing signal issues...

[newageoutlaw]

So I purchased a new TPU case for my Sensation and found my wifi and cell signals to not be as strong as usual. I removed the case and the signal returned and went to full. Guess ill be looking into a new case. Any suggestions?

Quick question? Are you in a 4G area? I just got a TPU case too and the area where I work is being upgraded to 4G "soon" and is the only place I have issues with sig... Home (2G) and where I visited over the weekend (4G) have been fine... Just curious.

Interesting. I have a TPU case on mine and noted no difference at all in signal strength.

What I do notice is the death grip signal drop issue. Have to be careful how you hold this phone.

Ordered 2 TPU cases. Signal great BUT power button doesn't turn on/off...Has a BIG space between case and power button. Money wasted.

I live in San Diego and I have great 4G signal all over town except a few dead spots here and there but not enough to worry about. Im more so perplexed about my wifi strength then cell signal. I can sit outside on my patio listening to Pandora on my phone without the case and the signal is great. If I put the case on. signal either disappears completely or signal goes down to one bar. Same thing happens at work, and both places have the wifi router no further then 20 to 25 feet. Very weird that a piece of plastic can cause this...

I have a TPU case and have zero issues with the wifi signal unless I hold it wrong and cover the little pinholes (death grip). It may be dependent upon the thickness of the tpu case? Actually it could also be that the case actually doesn't have openings for the little pinholes? My particular case does. That would definitely be a factor in wifi or even network connection.
