Purchased this product because my phone was dropping a lot of calls in areas where other people weren't having problems. It seemed to help a little bit, dropped calls decreased. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not.

Please know that we have extensively tested Reach Case and it is proven to increase your LTE signal strength up to 3X. It is also important to know that you may not always see more “bars” when using it so it may not always be easy to see what it is doing for you. 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 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.

We are glad to hear you like your Reach Case and how it fits your phone! Reach Case is tested and proven to improve your LTE signal strength up to 3X, but it is important to know that you may not always see more “bars” when using it - - so it may not always be easy to see what it is doing for you. The reason for this is that the signal strength of your phone is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale you can have a 3 dB improvement (which gives you a 2x signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”. This means that some 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.

I returned after using for a week and far as i can tell it is not worth the price. If you have poor signal in your home the only and best way to boost that is to use a signal booster for your home. Its a lot more expensive than this which is why i went this route in the first place, but it didn't work for me.

We know how frustrating a poor signal can be and that is exactlly why we designed Reach Case. Please know that Reach Case is tested and proven to provide up to 3X LTE signal strength improvement. It has been rigorously tested in 3rd party CTIA-authorized labs as well as major cellular carrier labs to validate the results we display on our packaging.
It is also important to 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”. One full bar improvement can require up to a 10 dB improvement which equals a very big 10X improvement in your signal! This means that often times Reach Case 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 would be happy to work with you to help make sure you are experiencing all that Reach Case has to offer. Please reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 so we can answer any questions you may have.

I purchased the reach case when I purchased my new phone. The area that I live in doesn't get great service so I thought it might help. I haven't seen any noticeable difference considering my girlfriend has the same phone and doesn't have the case and at times I think she gets better reception then I am.

I bought this because I needed more signal. I always have to go outside of our lake house to even make a call. This thing didn't give me anymore signal than I was already getting. Didn't help at all. Waste of $60. I even bought the more expensive one because I was assured it would work.

We are glad to hear you have seen some signal improvement with your Reach Case. We know how frustrating a weak signal can be and that is exactly why we designed Reach Case. Reach Case is designed to immediately start working to improve your signal when you snap it on. To get the biggest improvement in your signal you should slide the antenna out to get up to a 3X stronger LTE signal.
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.

Good protection case

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I might recommend this case to others if you want a plain case that will protect your phone well. I have lost calls while using this case, but not sure why that was, although I'm in a major city using Verizon. The idea is great, but I would think you could hold IDs or cards with the sliding case and you cannot. The slide does not seem to have much affect on service at all. I have had this case for about 2 months now. The protection with the case is the best part about it. It really does its job. I have dropped my phone a couple times and no damage at all. Would hope for more colors and designs in the future.

I think that the design is way better than i thought it would be. It was very easy to put on and sleek looking. It wasn't bulky at all. As soon as a I put it on, my signal went up a bar!
