If you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of people who stood in line for hours and paid hundreds of dollars for the most important innovation to phone\/camera\/lifestyle technology and were really excited to call your mom but instead encountered reception not unlike that of a 1920s rotary phone, you were PROBABLY a little miffed. And by miffed I mean “FedEx-your-feces-to-Apple-headquarters” \u00a0furious.<\/p>\n

And when Steve Jobs’ response to this unbelievable glitch was to say “Don’t hold it like that, stupid,” you were probably even more angry, and when he said “Or buy this $30 case,” you probably passed out in your own anger vomit.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the geniuses over at Techland<\/a> have come up with a simple, if not somewhat Redneck-y fix. By putting a small piece of scotch tape over the black line on the bottle left \u00a0edge, “Your iPhone 4’s twin antennas are now insulated against skin short-circuiting in the ‘problem corner’.”<\/p>\n

Awesome fix, guys! Now all we have to do is figure out why a $400 cell phone in 2010 has a “problem area,” not unlike a 40 year old woman’s upper thigh region. Any takers?<\/p>\n\n
