Let me start by saying it's a prototype. I have a feeling there's going to be some reception issues with a plated case but maybe some of you can help where I'm not an expert.
Since the 3G housing is plastic that means I can laser engrave holes, squares, whatever into the housing before plating it. A very cool customization at the least. If I were to laser cut the area above the antenna, I'd imagine it might help...the only thing I wouldn't know is what shapes would be better to cut (holes, squares, or even a huge rectangle). It'd have to be something that looks good. I could just laser cut a grid of holes into the housing then plate it but I'm not sure if that'll help anything. So reception experts please speak on this (if there is any here).
