Default Commuter Case & GPS???

Love the new commuter case from Otterbox. Today I noticed that the map program couldn't locate me with the case on...and then worked perfectly when I took the case off. Has anyone else noticed this? Is the case preventing the satellite signals from getting in?

I have the commuter as well and never had that problem BUT when I open BB Maps, and I'm moving (on a vehicle) somehow the maps shows the other way around. Instead of North on top, it's at the bottom. And turning the phone upside down corrects it. Weird.

Never had an issue with a GPS signal on my 9930, and I'm using the thicker Defender case.

Open Maps/Options change North up to Track up. Had to do that on a trip south. Hope that helped.
I also have the ob commuter and have not noticed any gps issues.

No GPS issues here and I've had the otterbox commuter from day 1. I've actually been extremely pleased with the 9900s GPS.

No issues with my GPS using OtterBox Commuter case. I had it for a good while myself.
