It was a nice review, but the part about having NO effect on signal strength is hard to believe. The test needs to be done in a low signal area. The best thing would be to actually measure the signal strength (for example with a little program called SignalMeter that someone wrote for that purpose.) It's a little tricky because the signal strength tends to fluctuate, so you need to make repeated readings with and without the case. But I found a very noticeable difference with the aluminum Innopocket case. This would be especially problematic in areas with poor coverage, but in high signal areas of course you wouldn't notice a problem.
