Is anybody using a Seidio Dilex case?
I have seen some degradation in GPS accuracy since putting mine on.
Wondering if I am the only one.

bought both the seido innocase and the samsung cradle. seperately they work fine. But the phone will not slot into the craddle with the innocase on. Since i didn't want to keep taking the case on and off, i've tried grinding down the cradle. I still have not gotten a reliable lock.
Anyone found a better solution?
I recently purchased an incipio case for my phone. This morning I noticed that I was loosing at least two bars of reception on both wifi and phone with the case on. Has anyone run into this issue either with the incipio cases or any other cases?
I've been using Otterbox for some time and I dont have any issues like that. Its probably your case
Its known as the death grip..... google it
some say its a myth..... others swear its true (like me)

Try it without the case and you'll probably see the same problem. Like azzle said, our phone is notorious for death grip.
I had an Incipio NGP case and my signal was no better or worse than it is now with a CaseMate Tough. I could take the case off and still get an inconsistent crappy signal.
I have an TPU Incipio case and I have no problem whatsoever.
I've tried two cases with my phone and both made the signal weaker. With my cases I could never get my Wi-Fi signal to full bars. Setting the phone directly on top of my router didn't get it full.
Anyways without the case its better, but this phone is not the best with reception (specifically wifi).
I have the same case, so does my friend. Neither one of us has had any reception issue. Case is awesome.
I have heard a few people complain of wifi and gps issues with their incipio NGP case. Although I've had my case for 6 months and no issues with any signals. Maybe your case is defective?
I'm aware that buying aluminum cases will cause you to lose signal strength. I'm thinking of buying one for my galaxy s5 and was wondering if anybody knows any quick fixes on how to block out losing signal while using the case?
I am wondering the same as i love the way aluminum bumper case fits the phone with wireless charging back.
I doubt there is a way.
The reason it affects signal is due to the aluminium material therefore an aluminium case will affect signal.

The aluminum bumper I bought for mine looses gps but not data or phone so I am thinking its the strip around the edge that needs insulation somehow.
Saw this on ebay last night

Look at the bumper, there are cut outs in the aluminum where the antennae is. Would this case suffer from signal loss? I remember the aluminum bumpers for the Note 2 and Note 3 would have weaker signals and/or loss of GPS ability.
Anyone have experience with these?
Thanks
They look good. Does it cover the back of the phone also?
I've had an aluminum bumper for about a month now. Noticed that my reception started getting very spotty (frequent lte/hspa drops). Called tmo several times to no avail. Finally it hit me... Took it off and reception quality has been much better since. It also improved print reader accuracy as well.
Anyone else noticed this?
I haven't used an aluminum bumper on this phone. When I had the g3 i read a couple of reviews about metal case affecting the reception of the phone.

I had the same bumper on g4 and haven't really noticed it with that phone.
