Hello everyone. I'll start off with saying that this case does work. I have been able to successfully reproduce results on two occasions. Both times, I had 2 bars with the case on but not extended. When I extended the case, and after about 30 seconds, it jumped up to three bars. Following that, I slid the case closed again and my signal dropped back to two bars after about 30 seconds. This happened both times. So I do feel confident in saying that this case does work. However, it will most likely not give you signal in a spot if you've never had signal in that spot to begin with. My only real concern with this case is that the piece that extends feels like rather flimsy plastic. Like if you slide it in and out too rough after a while it might break. Bottom line, if you have a carrier with less than perfect coverage (I have Sprint), and you need to make sure you'll get as much signal as possible, then this case could mean the difference between a call getting dropped or not being dropped. It does work, but not like some people may think. Thanks for reading. I hope my review helped.

I like the protection and sure grip the rubberized sides and corners provide. It feels sturdy and is very comfortable. I cannot tell if it makes a difference for signal because every where I go it seems to be no signal or great signal. I have not found a borderline situation where the case make a go/no go difference.
I got mine on sale for about the same price as a regular case of similar protection so I am very happy with my value even if there is no signal benefit.

I just moved and my service was hit and miss. I bought this case and it made my service amazing! I was able to use Pandora in a previously dead zone!

I didn't think it would actually work that well, but it does just what they said it would do. Boosts signal availability and preserves battery life.

This was on sale and I figured nice case and maybe this antenna thing will work- if not I will return it. It seems to actually work pretty well. If reception is an issue for you-give it a try. Pay attention to the box so you get the correct carrier and size.

We would like you to know that Reach Case has been extensively tested by independent labs as well as a major cellular carrier and it is proven to increase your LTE signal strength up to 3X. 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 true 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.

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, but you may not always easily see that on your phone screen. 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.

This was a current product on clearance. Now that I have had it for a couple of months, I know why. It has made little or no difference in signal strength or quality. When passing through well known weak signal areas it did not extend range or signal strength. There was virtually no difference with or without the case. I couldn't recommend this product with a clear conscience.

We would like you to 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 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!

My 6s plus dosent get the best signal with my carrier. (I won't say who, it's not version or att). Associate at the store showed me this case, (R79X) and said she really didn't know a lot about it, and only had 2 customer comments about it. 1 yes 1 no.
Mine is, does not improve signal at all or very minimum. But when you slide it open it does make a nice handle. Lol.

On looks, this is a well made quality case. Feels good and secure while holding. The antenna seems to help in areas where I know I usually have poor signal. I don't see a difference in areas where my signal is already good. The slide down antenna is okay but I prefer if it was built into the case. Overall I really like this case and have had no problems using it.

This case was easy to install, feels sturdy, and has a sleek design. In my daughter's bedroom, I always have trouble watching videos on my phone, but with this case on, I had no troubles at all. For this reason, I think the case is worth getting. I only wish it came in more colors/designs.

Amazing Signal Strength - Does NOT disappoint!

I was given this case as a gift after expressing concerns about my service dropping, especially in hilly areas. After I put the case on my iPhone, I decided to try it out - I placed a call to my mom, who had been expressing her frustration that our calls were constantly being interrupted. Miracle! I specifically placed the call in the same location I always do - and then drove down the hill - the call was not lost or compromised in any way! To test even further, while on the top of a mountain in Beaumont, California, I placed another call - again, the reception was clear as a bell! While on that same mountain, I searched my location, and sent pictures of the beautiful views - data intact and signal strong! Finally, a product that meets our expectations! I am so happy with this case and await new products! Thank you!

I was a little skeptical before purchasing the case. I have used other cases in the past that had promised to boost your signal, and didn't work. I decided to take a chance with the R79X and was happy I did. I decided to test it out by going to a spot near the beach where reception is usually pretty choppy. Typically I would get dropped calls, or not have enough signal to complete a call. This time was different I was able to connect, and stay connected with no issues!
