[Q] How have you solved the antenna grip issue?

[shure2]

Recenly moved from a TP2 to the HD2 and am experiencing some antenna (signal) issues that I hadn't with the TP2

I know there are threads about a 'killing grip', but I haven't yet found a solution or at least a partial help.

Holding in RIGHT HAND:
Signal drops by at least 2, usually 3 bars (GPRS)

Holding in LEFT HAND:
Signal drops by 1-2 bars, but not usually lower (GPRS)

I have tried changing grips but unless I hold he phone above the antenna nothing changes, and with this grip its difficult to operate one handed

Wifi is uneffected and I haven't been in a HSDPA area to test that, but I pressume it will be effected similarly.

Has anyone found that using certain cases or full body skins help the situation? or is it simply that our hands are blocking the signal and therefore no case/skin will help?

not aware of any signal issues but I do have my phone in a silicon case that it came with. I'd recommend using a silicon case just for the fact that if you place your phone face down, it keeps the screen up off of the surface thus saving it from getting scratched up.
