Many appreciate the case's protective qualities and ease of use, while also noting its lightweight design. Although some users mentioned the case's size, the positive feedback on call quality and overall protection outweighs these concerns. The sleek design is also frequently praised.

    Pleased with durability of this lightweight case

    I was using the Reach 79 prior, so i haven't noticed a big change in signal strength yet, but i like the overall feel and protection of the case. It's easy to grip and feels very protective, the buttons work well, although they can be difficult to press down, especially the power button. The case is very lightweight and durable, and provides a good amount of protection for general day to day use and drops, even with 2 small children using the phone. One thing i love about reach cases is how easy they are to put on the phone. Taking them off and cleaning them is just as easy. My only concern is that the sliding antenna seems a bit flimsy. I feel like it's likely to break off in the future, especially since my children tend to use my phone from time to time. Once i got used the the feel of it, it stopped sliding around in my hand, but i'm just not sure this feature is necessary, and could potentially detract from the case overall if it does break in the future.

    Live in weak signal area for my provider and has helped significantly boost and stabilize calls w/dropping signal which was more frequently an issue. Not perfect but significantly better

    I work from home and needed a better signal to do business with my customers. I added this case and I tend to get a better signal in places. I don't always get the best signal but it is an improvement.

    I'm very pleased with this case for my iPhone 6. It doesn't add a lot of weight or increase the size much. It's easy to hold. And the clear case shOws off my rose gold iPhone.

    I haven't noticed a change in bars or signal strength on my phone but I have noticed that I am not dropping near as many calls. To me it's a keeper.

    Only seeing a small difference when LTE/4G is available. If the signal is 3G or less there seems to be zero impact on the signal strength.

    This item made absolutely no difference in the strength/performance/quality of my cellular phone. I read the manufactures FAQ's and guidance from their product site and I tested the product at home, at various locations throughout the city, inside buildings, etc. before returning the product. I thought it might be too good to be true....... and it was!

      We would like to learn more about how you were testing your Reach Antenna. It is important to know that when using Reach Antenna you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, but Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal. Often times performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also see better battery life because the phone isn’t having to work as hard to find and hold a signal.

      We have rigorously tested Reach Antenna in 3rd party CTIA-authorized labs to validate the results we display on our packaging. Reach Antenna is tested and proven to provide up to 1.5X LTE signal strength improvement. We also conducted 3rd party drive testing to ensure these results occurred in real world situations while moving through different locations. We created a video documenting this testing and we would like you to view it as it speaks to your concerns about performance. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations. You can see it at:
      http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest

      We designed our Reach Antennas to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in your hand, so how you are using it and what case you have are factors in performance. Should you decide to give us another try we would like to work with you to help make sure you experience all that Reach Antenna has to offer. Reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 and our team will be happy to work with you. Antenna79

    I was skeptical it would work. It actually improved the reception one full bar. I liked it enough to purchase a second one.

      We are glad to hear you are seeing improved reception with your Reach Case. It’s great that you have seen a one bar increase with your signal. It’s important to know that the signal strength of your phone is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale at times you can have up to a 5 dB improvement (which gives you a 3X signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”.

      If you have any questions we would be happy to work with you to make sure you experience all the Reach Case has to offer. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.​ Antenna79

    I bought this phone specifically for an area I camp in that is about 8 miles from an area that has cell service. This device made no difference in this area. In my own neighborhood there are areas I only get 2 or 3 bars, and use of this device has done nothing to improve my reception.

      Reach Case has been extensively tested and it is proven to increase your LTE signal strength up to 3X. Please be aware that if there is no signal in the area you camp at, then Reach Case can’t create a signal where there is none.

      In regards to your neighborhood please know that you may not always see more “bars” when using Reach Case so it may not always be easy to see what it is doing for you. The reason for this based on what goes on behind the bars you see on your phone screen. The signal strength of your phone is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale you can have up to a 5 dB improvement (which gives you a 3X signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”.

      We would like to connect with you to learn a bit more about how you are using Reach Case so we can ensure you experience all it has to offer. Please give us a call so we can work with you. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.​ Antenna79

    I live in a mountainous area with a 4G signal strength. Nevertheless, I struggle for signal strength. This case has improved the disrupted signal. It's not a total fix but it is a big help. It is an obvious performer.
