Hey dudes, just wondering if anyone is using them and had any issues using the phone or wifi range going down etc..

I bought a Cygnett brushed alloy case from JBHIFI for like $50 and its cool but it definitely makes the wifi range worse, was looking at the defender and wondering if it makes it hard to use the outer edge of the screen etc??

I bought one for my sister in law's iPhone4 last year. No issues with WiFi performance. Prob one of the best cases for the iPhone.

I've tried the otterbox with good results. I've also had the case mate tank and am now using a lifeproof. All three were good with no signal loss

Whereabouts can these be purchased in NZ? I'm interested in them, but have never seen them on sale locally.

Okay, thanks. I prefer to avoid Trademe where possible but will definitely take a look.
