Aluminum cases and the Q...

[N7AS]

Has anyone had any experience with aluminum hard cases as far as signal loss? It seems to me that it would almost completely block any signal including bluetooth in and out. I'm thinking about getting one that accepts the extended battery as this may be my only choice that has built in screen protection.

i have no personal experience w/ aluminum cases whatsoever, but wouldn't it stand to reason they tested this -reception- before making them ?

I guess that's true. These cases have been on the market for quite some time, but reading past reviews of these cases, there's no mention about reception. Last night, I looked at a review on treocentral (I used to be a treo user) about an aluminum case for one of the new treos with an internal antenna. Again, no mention about reception.
