iPad case interfering with Wifi?

[kpbrian]

I just did a connection speed test comparing the connection with and without a case (Marware EcoVue) and it turned out to be:

Without case
5mbps

With case
2.5mbps

Anyone else have this problem and is there a way to correct this?

I didn't search for other threads with this issue by the way.

Does the EcoVue have magnets? If so, perhaps it's interfering a little with the signal. I think I've seen people commenting that their cases with magnets were interfering with the compass feature.

They do have magnets,,, this case has been discussed on this forum having this problem. I believe the discussion was in accessories

I have the same case with no slow down of speed. Did you run the test several times? I sometimes get different results running two tests in a row.

I have this case and have had no issues at all with wifi speeds.
