Armor case killed my reception!

Anyone notice their aluminum armor case really inhibits their signal reception when it's on? Someone just told me a case made out of aluminum can interference with radio signals. I wonder if this case is the culprit. Also since I bought the case, the battery life has been really poor...

What case is that? Just wanna know so I don't get that one. Yea, aluminum can mess with the signal. Don't know why they would make a case out of one.

Re: Armor case killed my reception!

kill signal & battery.. that constant polling will put a heck of a drain on it... I wonder too if that would actually kill the antenna..

Re: Armor case killed my reception!

No it doesn't hurt the phone in any way. It just totally changes the antenna pattern when it has a huge ground plane surrounding the phone.
