In lieu of Steve Jobs offering free cases to iPhone 4 consumers, we believe these solutions are a little bit more appropriate - they match the ridiculousness of this debacle the Apple CEO has created for his company.
1. The retro-chic antenna

Or, in this case, an "antenn-aid." (Did you catch the "case" pun too?) But, unlike a hardware revamp, this is merely a band-aid fix. Steve Jobs must have thought the old saying was, "If it's broke, why fix it?" (This one is real, and purchasable on Etsy.)
3. Perfect grip standard with iHand
Are your fat fingers fudging up reception? Do you hold your hand like an awkward buffoon and consequently cut off important calls? Rely on this wooden beauty, specifically designed to grip your mobile device in the perfect way!
