Hi, The iPhone 4 antenna problem only effected the phone antenna; wireless apparently was unaffected. Your case or speedDots won't be blocking the reception which means something more interestings going on here. At the end of the day, if you're convinced its the phone, the only way to confirm is to do a clean restore - E.G. not from a backup and see if wifi works. Have you tried googling router model iphone 3gs where router model would be replaced with the model of your router? That should bring up people with the same problem if its a router issue.
