Apple antenna issue a 'physics problem'

Others have said, and Apple has suggested, that users buy a case to prevent fingers from coming in direct contact with the antennas built into the metal band surrounding the iPhone 4.
The bumper case is a rubber holder that just surrounds the exterior of the device, and that Apple started selling the same day as the iPhone 4 for $29. Apple has already said it's not giving the cases away for free.
First, sell a phone that has a huge design flaw which should have been obvious during beta testing. Then, offer a fix, but charge customers extra for it. That's truly the Apple way: squeeze cash out of everything.
