Christ this is frustrating. I just tweeted about it before finding your blog. A tapered design would solve this problem quite nicely.

I thought I was the only one haha I remember searching for hours shortly after the 3gs first came out to find an alternative. I gave up then, but am just starting to search again. At least now it looks like there are a lot of options out there now. Just trying to do some research to figure out which one is the best for the $$$

You are not alone. Everyone in my office complains about this. One couldn’t design that mic to catch on a collar so well if they actually tried. It is frustraitingly reliable.

I couldn’t agree more. I wear collared shirts all the time and absolutely hate the feeling of the tug on my collar. I’ve settled with wrapping a small piece of cellophane tape in a cone shape around the very top of the button (careful not to cover the microphone) when wearing a collared shirt. Not the most fashionable decision, but hardly noticeable. Wonderful device; horrible design flaw.
