Does this case affect the cell reception?

Hi Daniel,For my case it didn't.My wife is using the same model (HTC M8) and same carrier as mine but with a HTC Dot case and the reception is slightly stronger than hers (sometimes) but most of the times it's the same.

I used my phone without any form of a case for three weeks. Then I put the Spigen slim armor case on. It does not affect call quality in anyway, as far as I can tell. Also, the speakers still sound Crystal clear when running Pandora or watching YouTube videos.

No, not at all. However, you cannot use the tv remote control function as it covers the power/lock button(where the IR blaster is located).

No the case has a bottom, and in the bottom six tiny holes in the case by the microphone. It does not seem to effect the clarity of the call.

It doesn't affect texting at all. Good case. I'd buy it again. I'll have it til it breaks which I don't see happening in the near future.

Absolutely not. I used the phone without the case and saw no difference when I added it.

I have had no problems with it weakening my signal. I give this case a thumbs up! Kim W

Dunno, check the spec sheet. But, it's definitely the best case out there, in my opinion, for the non 3g version. Dropped mine accidentally a few times, not a single blemish

Yes. The sleek only boosts the cell signal (phone/data) and has no affect on app function. I actually use the Sleek for boosting my data so that I can use PDA Net, since my phone is the only internet access I have in the area that I live.

No. The case conforms to the slight curve of the phone, i.e., the phone/case still has the same curve as the phone by itself.

Yes, a bit. As other reviewers have noted, you'll probably lose about 1/2 a bar with the phone in this case. Usually not a big problem, but if you are in a marginal signal area it could be. Also, it will have an impact on battery life since the phone has to put out more power to keep connected to a network.

All radio work with this case it is the metal cases that kills the radios on cell phone. Yes this case works fine all five bars and LTE.

I haven't noticed any effects the case may have with data/voice and speaker phone quality. It's a great looking case and does an excellent job protecting my phone. My kids have dropped the phone many times on the ground, off the table etc.. and the phone is well protected.

Yes. I've been having problems. At first I thought it was my phone and it was dumb luck that I took the case off and that's when I realized what was happening. My phone signal goes in and out when the cover is on; especially indoors. Outdoors is better, but my signal strength is very low. I just received the case a few days ago and now its practically useless to me. 5/15/14.

I haven't had any issues with reception due to the phone. Its all been the provider, although even that has been very little to none. Been a pretty good phone for me!

No, my phone works some times,it cuts you off & doesnt even ring at times.Goes straight to voice mail.Also gets a lot of busy signals.

No, but it could depend on the case. Also, cases can damage phones so be glad you have a full phone body shield :)

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 believe it does ***but*** only on a raw phone. If you have a case you strike out.
