How is your pinky covering the entire "antenna band"? Or are you referring to that little black seam? Because that's not an antenna...it's the break between them (and I think one of them is simply there for looks or something, to balance out). There are two antennas, but three "seams". Block those seams shouldn't affect anything...it's the big metal band that is the antenna.

I think. I hope. At least that's what I took from the WWDC keynote and all the subsequent articles and reviews...

If it is those little three black areas, then we're screwed.
