ClearBoost Case: Making Downloads for iPhone Faster?

As a matter of fact a great number of so-called “brainy” iPhone accessories can be used only for aesthetic purposes. Only few of them have really useful application. The device I’m going to describe below is one of them.

Griffin Technology has come up with ClearBoost case. Today seems to be the case-day. I’m reviewing though different but in fact two types of the same accessory – iPhone cases.

So ClearBoost case is aimed at two major purposes

Protecting your iPhone from external dangers
Boosting the device’s cellular signal

Griffin Technology is specializing in the creation of protective cases for iPhone and ClearBoost case is the first devices that somehow deviates from the course.

When you first see the case you might think that it is just an ordinary one (perhaps except for a small nub that protrudes from the top of the case). But this nub is responsible for making the cellular connection better. In fact it doesn’t give a significant improvement of the signal but you will see that a number of additional signal bars will appear on the screen.

If you wonder how it works, it’s simple – ClearBoost adds an antennae booster to your iPhone. It catches additional signal and send it to the phone via the inbuilt antennae.

As for the protection of the device, Griffin Technology ClearBoost is a strong polycarbonate case. The case is able to protect your phone from scratches and other defects that affect the aesthetic condition of it. Although the device doesn’t give incredible boost in the signal, it definitely improves it. The cost of the case is $29.99 and it seems a reasonable deal, as the device is a great case besides being an antennae booster.
