[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
Not from the testing that I did. Reception seems to be unaffected in any way.

This is what I sent them for my review:

There are only two issues that I have been experiencing with the case that would cause me not to purchase it. Just my own personally opinion so please don't take offense. I would also assume that it'll cause others not to go with this case if others are out there that don't have these issues.

The bad:

1. Front lip screen protection is very very small. The top and bottom of the front lips should cover the front just a little more, and offer a little higher ridge for when the phone is placed facing down. It as not the worse thing, but I have found that it doesn't offer much screen prevention and dust enters the spacing between the case and phone a lot easier.

2. Finger print reader accessibility. This is a make or brake it for me and the biggest issue that is actually causing me to have to force myself to use the case. There needs to he a slanted ramp leading to the fingerprint reader because I have to constantly flip my hand over with the phone to line up my finger. If there could be a small cut out groove that helps to align the finger, I believe it would resolve this issue. The issue issue the current design causes is because there is no shuttle guide to the fingerprint reader, the fingertips need to be used which unfortunately the fingerprint reader isn't very good at because fingertips are not very defined when it comes to the print pattern. I have to push hard against the section of the case where the reader is located, so that as much of my fingerprint is covering the reader which is very tedious. The only other work around I have found so far is to touch the reader coming from the left or right side of the phone. Unfortunately that is not convenient.

The Good:

1. Material is fantastic in hand. The feel of the case is great and I have confident that it won't skip out of my hand with one hand usage. The overall shape of the case fits great in my hands. I have large hands so I'm not sure if that's why. Don't know if it'll cause issues for folks with smaller hands.

2. Battery Life is very very good! I am able to get 1 & 1/2 charge out of the battery with the phone starting off at 5% life. I was able to use my device for about 39 hours before I had to charge both the phone and case. Charging seems to be normal. For a few minutes when charging both the case and phone at the same time, fast charging with be active until it regulates down to let the case do the charging of the phone. At least that is what it appears to be doing. Connected to my Samsung Charger that came with the Note 9, it only takes the case just over an 80 minutes or so to fully charge by itself.

3. Port access is great as well. Not much to say here other than full access to all bottom ports, speakers and mics are nice and accessible.

4. Curved screen access is also on point! I had absolutely no trouble using edge screen on either left or right curved sides of the screen. The case sides are cut far enough to be screen protector friendly even when it comes to the full coverage protectors, as the sides of the case flexes enough so that the protector sides don't get pushed up on by the case.

Thanks
