I installed my oem cover today and I regained at least one signal bar. I don't know about you guys but on the oem back cover you'll notice this strip on the interior which looks like it has to do with signal and reception frequencies but that's just my assumption because the aftermarket ones do not have this strip. I'll have to do a bit more testing and playing around to confirm this myth / issue.

That black strip is a static strip. You can buy it online for $0.95 or so.
