Does the silicone case negatively affect the reception to cell towers? If even by one bar or with wifi, please be specific. Thank you.

Yes I think hi does knock it down at times. Also thought T would mention I went back to the old battery because the volume is cut down more than half. It covers the galaxy's speaker . Gary

Reception has been reduced a small amount with the case and it restricts the charger.

The battery itself does not the case. The case for it is fine does not cover the speaker.

To be honest I believe it only effects wifi slightly. I havent measured the actual signal loss but ive never lost I signal with the silicone case. I believe I loose about 1/8 or my signal at the most and its not really noticeable so you should be fine! Hope this response helped:)

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

My office is a black hole (bomb shelter) so we automatically have zero signal. Very few times if you lay your phone a certain way you'll get one bar that shows up off and on so I can send a couple texts before the bar goes away again. With this case on there was no choice or hope of getting at least that one little bar. Lol but as far as out of my office every day use nope! Signal was just fine no issues.

I have purchased 2 different styles of the Wilson Cell phone signal extenders. They both work very well. We put one in my husband's shop building, and he has not had a dropped call since. We are in a funny spot where you can have 4 bars in one spot, walk 2 feet and have only one bar of signal. Both of the units I have are operating in the United States. I guess I don't know if cell towers are different in diferent countries. If the technology is pretty much the same, the you should have a good result as long as you can get at least one bar of signal where you live.

I have never had a problem with this or any other case, maybe it is the area you are receiving the signal from.

No probls with dust for ours! I've purchased 4 cases two of them were for teens and trust me no WiFi issues. I would defiantly recommend this brand if case!!! They come with a screen protector so we've not purchased additional ones. Hope this helps with your decision

I have been told that a second inside antenna is a waste of money and will not increase signal. I tried it. It has been suggested that raising the outside antenna is best, and have it pointing to the nearest tower.

I have Verizon and the case is not impacting my signals. It's extremely thin and the parts that clip to the phone are clear plastic. The charger port, top button, and headphone jack are always uncovered and accessible.

I've had no reception problems with my Asha 302. One of the few places it won't pick up a signal is underground in the subway. Perhaps your workplace blocks cellphone usage due to security. Another factor could be that certain providers have coverage in particular places than others.

No it did nothing for my situation. I live in a valley about 2 miles from a tower. My signal is always 2 or less & I sent this back as it didn't change the signal at all. I even had a directional antenna.

I bought this phone in the states and brought it in Italy. I've never had a problem with reception out there. Back in the U.S., I live far away from a cell tower and still receive good reception.

No. Has no affect on gps signal. A phone case made from metal or aluminum will affect the signal the most. I use a UAG case and the combo is perfect.

No, this case does not interfere with signal, that's the clearest answer I can give you.

Surprisingly enough, no, it doesn't. The part of you phone that actually sends and receives signal is not blocked by the metal, it has thick rubber over it. I've done multiple speed tests with it on and off because I thought it was causing it but I was just in a bad cell area. It has the same reception with the case on or off. Hope that helps.

It does not affect the camera in any way that I have noticed. It does significantly inhibit the cell phone signal though (by about half for me). In rural areas it gets little to no signal at all when using this case.

It's a great case to protect your phone. But you will lose reception due to your device being surrounded in aluminum

No it doesn't. Sorry. But please note it is made of aluminum or some kind of metal and it does block cell reception. Drop mine to one bar inside my house and two bars outside. I had to purchase another. I was disappointed because its so pretty.
