Claim:
1. A hand held wireless communication device housing that guides proper hand placement on the housing, the housing comprising: a frame including a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, the first side wall and second side wall extending between the top wall and the bottom wall, each of the top wall, bottom wall, first side wall, and second side wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface of the top wall, bottom wall, first side wall and second side wall defining an interior region sized and shaped to receive a hand held wireless communication device, the exterior surface of the first side wall including a first grip guide including: a first lower protrusion at a bottom portion of the first side wall, a first upper protrusion at an upper portion of the first side wall, and a first gripping region between the first upper protrusion and the first lower protrusion; the exterior surface of the second side wall including a second grip guide including: a second lower protrusion at a bottom portion of the second side wall a second upper protrusion at an upper portion of the second side wall, and a second gripping region between the second upper protrusion and the second lower protrusion, the first lower protrusion, first upper protrusion, second lower protrusion, and second upper protrusion formed of a low dielectric constant and low loss tangent material; wherein when a hand held wireless communication device is received into the frame and the hand held wireless communication device housing is held in a hand of a user at the first gripping region and the second gripping region, an antenna at a bottom portion of the hand held wireless communication device or the top portion of the hand held wireless communication device radiates primarily into free space, whereby radiation absorption by the hand of the user is minimized, and wherein the first lower protrusion, first upper protrusion, second lower protrusion, and second upper protrusion define antenna transmission regions.
