Review: An iPhone Case That Claims to Boost Your Reception

I can teach you accomplish the same thing: just get a white sheet of paper, cut it to the size of the iPhone 6, then write on it "reception booster pro," and finally glue it to your iPhone 6. You now have a reception booster that works through, what I like to call, "passive closeness" (*trademark pending).

In our independent lab tests we found that this improved our signal from entropy to Entropy Plus™ (patent pending), which we found could sometimes improve signal anywhere from 0-100%.

Early reports indicate inconclusive results with some claiming it boosts signal, while others claiming it degrades it, but all I know is that now you owe me $60-70.

PS - I take no responsibility if you glue a piece of paper to your iPhone 6, you're just an idiot.

> I found that the Reach79 increased my download speeds some of the time, especially in weaker locations

Over what?

The same phone in the same location yesterday? A different phone held next to it? A different phone in a "similar location"? What the author remembered from the day before, or carefully logged?

The review is practically useless without this information....

Don't journalists get a course in basic statistics? Would solve a lot of these types of "reviews".

FTA:

" ... I’d like to be able to say that the Reach79 will solve your cellular reception problems, or even to flatly declare that it won’t. But I can’t say either. After nearly a week of testing it, using two methods in a variety of locations, all I can report is very mixed results. Roughly half the time it seemed to help, sometimes by a little and sometimes by a lot. And roughly half the time it made no difference at all. On a few occasions, it actually degraded the performance of my iPhone 6. ... "

Hmmm....

I think I'll wait until someone actually tests this thing. Based on his review, it seems to me that Walt meaninglessly fiddled with it and doesn't really have any idea if it works or not overall.
