HTC sensation WIFI

hi all, this is prob a wierd one but can anyone tell me where the WiFi attenna is located on the sensation, i bought a gel silicon cover for the phone to give it some grip but when i put it on it drops the wifi signal down to only 1 or zero bars, compared to full bars when cover removed. i think from my bit of testing that its possibly located at the top of the phone between the lock button and the earfone jack,can ne one confirm this.

 

cheers

I had a gel cover too-Completely wipes out all signals. Have tried putting holes in to see if this helps... not enough yet, won't have much cover left soon!

Thats what i paid with a free screen protector thats too small and doesnt stick! Ive got a couple of official screen protectors on back order at play though. On my Desire i have an hard plastic Casemate barely there cover and im going to one for this when its out.

The Wifi Aerial occupies the upper plastic area on the back cover, the part that include the camera. the lower part has the Phone aerial.
