I've heard of metal cases worsening cell and WiFi reception. Anyone have that problem?

My brother never had any problem with carrier or wifi signal reception. The case isn't completely aluminum, but also has plastic that fits over the sides of the phone as another buyer had mentioned. It's a really good case. Just make sure to buy a screen protector as well.

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 have the same issue with my HTC One M8 but then I realized that it has to do with the WiFi. I turned it off and it sounded clear afterwards. Try that out.

I had the same problem. Poor Wi-Fi connection or none at all. Unfortunately Matricom quality control is hit or miss. I sent mine's back and purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and I absolutely love it!

that hasn't been an issue for me. Just the case falling apart. I wouldn't recommend this case to anyone.

The fit and feel is great. The only down side is it is metal sounding your phone. That sounds great until you realize metal will reduce the signal strength of your phone. If you are in a one bar area it becomes a no bar area. So you will reduce the talk and data geographical area you can use your phone.

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:)

Hi there,Excellent question Jay! Metal disrupts the signal between the NFC tags and your device. As a result, you're likely to get erratic behaviour from the tags if they're used in conjunction with any metal, including the metal on a phone case.Hope that helps!JustinWhizTags

Sorry, your metal building will shield all wi-fi signals coming from the house. You'll need to run a hard line to your building.

Thank you for your question, Christina! Metal can cause interference with the signal that the transmitter sends which could create a smaller or inconsistent boundary.

The reply from Dallas is correct. If it will be exposed to elements, it needs to be protected. I have found the wireless signal to be very strong, and can be used a significant distance, through the house etc, so a non metallic box shouldnt have a big impact on the signal.

There is no problem most of the time the only time I have issues is the day after trimming finger nails. Not a big problem though in my eyes but more difficult than with no case. Also no interference between phone and case covers. Great case dropped several times some scrapes in the case plastic but protected phone great.

is your wifi off? google responded a while back saying smart cases wont work without wifi it sounds dumb i know.

Absolutely NOT! I had the same concern, especially for distortion of picture memory. There has been NONE! And there also has been no problem with radio or even phone signal. Hope that helps...

So far I didn't have that problem. The phone is made of plastic. Only the back case is made of metal.But if you ask me, I'll say stay away from this phone. It is riddled with bugs (well, people who heavily use the phone's functions like syncing, emailing, adding memo in calendar etc would notice it). But if you primarily use it for sms or call, you won't experience the problem at all, hence the many glowing reviews from it's users.

Well, Fortunately I do not have big issue with it,ya some times it does drop wifi when signal is weak but in office where signal strenght is good it doesn't drop it.so I guess it is good.After update to 2.3.4 couple of times phone got lil slow in terms of response when I close any games I played & try to go to other application immediately, not sure it is normal but after restarting phone it is all fine as of now.let seeThanks,Hemant

I personally didn't have any drop in signal strength with my experience either. I do see some elements on the back of my native OEM back cover (which I suspect is an antenna) that the extended-life battery cover does not have.The OEM back cover looks similar to this one:http://hsto.org/storage2/2b5/522/72a/2b552272a45d7e02cc631a41273e1c6f.jpgIt could be that your vicinity to a tower is far enough to where this makes a difference.
