    This was an impulse purchase. Where I live, the cell service from Sprint is sub-par. I have noticed an improvement in streaming services in areas of poor reception and was able to stream music on a long stretch of road where I normally can't. The case itself is solid with a nice, grippy rubber coating and plenty of room for my glass screen protector. I like the cutout on the bottom as I've had trouble in the past with audio jacks and power cables on other cases. Not so here. Additionally, customer service from the manufacturer is prompt and helpful in answering any questions you might have. This isn't magic though. The large metal box stores in town still seem to interrupt my service and it doesn't give you a signal where one just doesn't exist. I also don't notice any real difference with the antenna deployed, though that doesn't mean there isn't one. While I feel the case has improved my signal and I like it asthetically, I'm unlikely to recommend it to a friend. It's a bit pricy and any improvements I've seen could be chalked up to the placebo effect.

    I learned about this case from a friend - raved about how much better his battery life was using this case. Price was very reasonable compared to other cases (I got it on sale at Best Buy). My guess is it doubled my battery life from before! Plus my phone (IPhone 6) works much better too.

    I now have reception in two areas on my route home where I used to drop calls in the middle of a conversation. I no longer have to warn my callers that I am about to lose them.

    I have very little phone service in my home so dropped cells were always a nuisance. Haven't had a dropped call since I put this on my phone!

    This works very well - we are moving to a home with little or no cell coverage, and I picked this up and tried it there, and it works.

    I purchased the Reach Case because I was vacationing in a low signal area & my work place is pretty low, as well. I found little or no benefit from this product after testing it for 2 weeks in various locations/conditions. My cell phone carrier is Sprint. It did fit my IPhone 6s well & was not bulky or cumbersome.

      We would like you 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. Antenna79

    Does what it's supposed to

    Pros: My phone gets a stronger signal. It's easy to put on and take off. It looks good. Nothing fancy but it's simple and nice. It's not bulky. I have access to all the buttons/ports. Cons: I could only think of one and that is that the antenna slides out too easily and when I take my phone out of my back pocket it usually slides out. If it weren't for this I would've given the case 5 stars.

    It didn't work to enhance my signal. It might have given me one more bar as far as reception, but It did not help my data connection at all.

      That is great that you saw an extra bar of reception with your Reach Case. Did you know that a full bar of coverage can be up to a 10X increase in your signal? The reason for this is 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.

      How are you measuring your data speed? Many tools that claim to measure it are flawed as they are affected by network and bandwidth conditions during their tests. 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.

    This is a joke for a case. Doesn't do anything to help reception at all. Sad is I missed the 14 day return policy. Won't buy anything like this ever again.

      We tested Reach Case in both independent 3rd party labs and at a major cellular carrier to validate our performance, and it is proven to increase your LTE signal strength up to 3X. It is important to know that while Reach Case has been proven to always be working to strengthen your signal, you may not always see more signal “bars” on your phone screen. The reason for this is based on what goes on behind the bars you see on your phone. 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”.

    The Reach Case is an excellent product. I would highly recommend this because you get an excellent signal and in addition to this, I have not experienced any dropped calls with this product. The battery life also seems to last longer.

    Drop protection is really important to me, but being able to improve signal strength at the same time really knocks this product out of the park!
