      It’s important to know that the “bars” on your phone screen do not show you the full picture of your signal. At 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.

      The reason for this is that your phone's signal strength is measured in dB’s which use a logarithmic scale that is non linear like the earthquake scale. This means that you can have a 5 dB improvement (which gives you a 3X signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”. A full bar of improvement for your signal takes 10 dBs, which equals a VERY BIG 10X improvement in your signal.

      We would like to connect with you to learn more about how you are using your Reach Case and how you are measuring your signal strength. It is important to know that Reach Case is tested and proven to always be working to strengthen your signal. Please reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 so we can work with you to ensure you experience all Reach Case has to offer. Antenna79

    I have a work phone and a personal phone of the same model and it doesn't matter which phone is in the case, the signal strength is the same. The phone in the case has the same strength as the one out of the case. I gave it a 2 because when I dropped the phone, they both were.

      We would like you to know that Reach Case 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. Reach Case is tested and proven to provide up to 3X LTE signal strength improvement.

      It is 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!

    I live in good coverage area so I really haven't been able to determine if antenna extender has been helpful. If I receive a poor signal indication, I will extend the antenna to see if it helps reception and will amend this review.

    I don't think this case actually does much of anything to be honest. I can't replicate any signal strengths so who knows. I stopped using it actually because I really don't think it made a difference.

      Please know that Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal, but that doesn’t always translate into “bars” or “ circles” on your screen so you may not realize what it is doing for you. Often times Reach Antenna performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also have better battery life because the phone isn’t working as hard to find and hold a signal.

      Reach Antenna has been tested with independent labs and its performance validated as shown in a video we created documenting our testing. We would like you to view it as it speaks to your concerns. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations, as tested by independent third party labs. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest.

      If you are in need of a bigger lift in your signal we do have a newer product called Reach Case that you may want to consider. Reach Case has an extendable antenna and gives you our best signal improvement to date - - up to a 3X stronger LTE signal. Reach Case is available at Best Buy stores and also online.

      If you decide to give us another try we would be happy to work with you to help make sure you experience all that Reach Antenna has to offer. We are available at 1-855-862-4090 to answer any questions you may have. Antenna79

    I purchased this case in the hopes it would help boost my signal. I have AT&T as my carrier, and purchased the case that was said to work with AT&T. There was absolutely no change in signal strength when it was put on, or when the slide was open.

    Tough to use one handed with antenna extended

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The reach case with the extended antenna extension is great. I've personally my seen my bars/signal increase after extending the antenna. The only problem I have, and the reason for only 4 stars, is that when the antenna is fully extended I have trouble using my phone one handed because I rest my phone on my pinky finger to support it, Other than that its awesome and very easy to install and operate.

    The new reach case is great. I love that it's very stylish and the way the antenna slides out, so cool. It's very durable and I'm not worried about it falling, it's pretty strong. I have noticed that I get a stronger signal when I'm out and about, whether I'm indoors somewhere or outside. Great product, I would recommend it to my friends and family.

    I was excited to try this case. I like the idea and the way it looks on my phone. I found it to make a small difference (not huge, but noticeable) in my signal strength. I wish it offered a bit more protection, as I am often rough on my phones. I received this product for free in exchange for sharing my opinions, but the opinions shared are my own.

    The extra signal is mitt life changing , but it does give me bars when I us usually have none. I also love that I can use my own case with it, but since I use a clear case it's very noticeable. That's not a big problem for me as long as I get signal.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Overall, the Reach Case is a brilliant product with intuitive features. The thick, strong case seems to provide the best protection against drops while maintaining a slim profile that comes with the phone. One area that may need improvement is the "Silent" switch access hole. It may be too deep for some users as I can barely reach it with my fingernail. Otherwise, the case works as advertised and provides phenomenal signal strength and call clarity.

    The Reach Case was very easy to put on my phone. It is well constructed, made of thick plastic and very durable. I really like the case. The antenna seems to work well too. I have noticed that my wifi coverage is better, especially with the slider antenna out. I have not made many phone calls, but I have noticed a few differences in the strength of my phone service coverage, and I have not dropped any calls. My battery life has been a lot better since using this case!

    STRONGER SIGNAL FOR MOBILE DATA!!!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I work in a building with no windows and really get no mobile data. I know its not the coverage area because when I walk outside I get 4 to 5 Bars (AT&T) with great coverage. When I'm inside the building i'm at 1 Bar, and i can make calls and all but sometime they drop. When Inside I cannot even use my data its like Frozen dead, cant even load youtube or facebook. I was skeptical about this case, but I sure glad i bought it, Sure its not the best looking case and the buttons are hard to push but IT WORK! I am now able to get Mobile Data inside the building where I work, i can browse youtube videos and facebook at 2-3Mbps... That's all I care. To people who think this device is going to Give them More Bars, that's probably not how this item work, its suppose to improve signal/strengthen it, unless you know for sure something is blocking the signal, dont buy this case thinking its going to magically give you 4-5 Bars. This item just make you have a consistent connection, praise to this i can now watch/listen youtube while at work.
