iPhone Band-Aid: Antenn-Aid a Cheap Alternative to Bumper Case


For all iPhone 4 owners who are still unsatisfied with Apple’s recent decision to hand out free bumper cases, and duct tape really isn't your thing, there's a cheap alternative to solving the antenna problem: Antenn-Aids.

The custom designed band-aids for the iPhone 4 smartphone (really vinyl stickers) are now selling for $4.99 a pack. There are 6 Antenn-aids in each pack and each one is a different color.

The band-aid for the iPhone 4 is designed to cover the lower left corner of the phone where, if the phone is gripped, we have come to expect a significant drop in reception.

But the Antenn-aid offers no guarantees: “Antenn-aid is for entertainment purposes only, results may vary,” reads the official site of the product, Antenn-aid.com. Legal considerations aside, the plastic product is expected to have the same effect on the iPhone 4 as any thin non-conductive covering such as duct or electrical tape.

Overall, the concept is curious its own nerdy sort of way, and certainly is eye catching. Antenn-aids could possibly attract the attention of odd collectors, Apple fans and curious online shoppers, especially those looking for a quirky gift.
