Fix your iPhone 4 “Death Grip” issue with a free LifeGrip case

If you want to resolve your iPhone 4’s antenna problems for free, you have a couple of choices:

  • Slap a big rubber band or stretchy bracelet on it. (Kinda ugly, blocks ports)
  • Stick electrical tape around the lower corners. (Incredibly ugly, blocks good taste)
  • Grab a free case. (Yay!)

To help with option 3, online retailer Cases.com is offering iPhone 4-compatible silicone cases for free, with the cost of shipping ($3 first-class shipping within the U.S.). Customers get a choice of five colors: Purple, rose and blue, which ship this week, and black and white styles, which are available around July 19th.

Given that these are made of silicone, LifeGrips could not only help with the signal problems resulting from touching the phone’s external antennae at the lower corners, but may also offer a little shock absorption for minor slips or drops.

We’re not familiar with Cases.com, so we can’t vouch for this company, but if you are, weigh in below and share your thoughts.

I want to order one, but it just has a scam-ish feel to it. It's just too suspicious for me at the moment. Waiting to hear something more about this before I decide to take cases.com up on their offer.

Or you can get a better looking case for about the same cost as the shipping for these cases on ebay. Some are hard cases and some are rubber, you can get them from $.99 to $3.00 depending on if you buy from an american seller or from hong kong. They typically ship from hong kong in about a week and a half and the american sellers usually arrive within the week.

Apple should be ashamed of themselves, they no that the problem exist and are not willing to for over a free rubber case for there blunder. Them shafting the loyal customers will only hurt them in the long run..

ive never heard of them but i will get a case if there are any connection problems once my iphone 4 arrives. (its late)
