Mobile Fun: Solve iPhone 4 ‘death grip’ signal problem with a free case

Monday 7th June 2010

After all the initial excitement about the iPhone 4, we heard that many people were disappointed to hear about the so-called “death grip” – surely something straight out of a horror movie – which causes a deterioration in signal strength when the phone is held in a certain way.

Apple was quick to admit the problem, releasing some helpful advice to users to hold the phone a different way – or to invest in an iPhone 4 case. In an email to a customer, CEO of Apple Steve Jobs said of the signal difficulties that:

“If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.”

That’s why, for a limited period, we at Mobile Fun are offering free iPhone 4 cases to those that want one, both to ensure that there are no problems in using the phone and put people’s minds at rest. The iPhone 4’s a great bit of kit that should be enjoyed to its fullest!

These cases are made out of non-conducting silicone gel which acts as an insulator and prevents your hand from causing the signal to drop. As a bonus, your phone will be protected and cushioned so there’s less danger of bumps or scratches.

To claim your free iPhone 4 case, normally worth £7.49, simply visit the Mobile Fun blog to find the promo code and follow the instructions there.

This offer will run until 30 July 2010 or until stocks run out.
