:) not to mention, you can cover the whole phone in your favorite color of duct tape
 
Of course it would have to be Apple approved iDuct tape from Apple iTape store.
It's shinier than regular duct tape but costs twice as much.

Not to mention that it's shiny coating is alumized mylar, which degrades your signal even further.

Wow that's a cheap iTape.. They normally go for sixfold the price of normal tapes.
 
Duct tape was my favorite babysitter. Though the kids always whine and complain when you rip it off them.

Gorilla tape is better. It has a stronger adhesive, so it stings more when you rip it off.
 
Using duct tape for babysitting may put you in jail.

Actually duct tape saved our trip to Nordkapp - when we were at the very north, we lost tent pole to the wind. If not for the duct tape we would be not able to pitch the tent for the rest of the trip.
