Would a rather smart flip over leather cover thingy be capable of causing my IPhone 5s to have a poor signal and microphone response?

Just that since I've had it, people say they can't hear me very well although it does seem to leave the microphone exposed. Obviously, I can't hear what they do so I've just pressed on. However, I recorded a new greeting on the thing and played it back to hear myself impersonating Norman Collier.

After several attempts it was always the same. So, I took the jolly posh looking leather flip cover thing off and tried again. Dulcets clear as a bell that time.

Irritating coincidence or inevitability?

I must be the only person ever to miss their old BlackBerry

Thanks Mark, I'll file that under "stuff to do when really really bored" ;-)

Edit - now it will remain a mystery to all...

My friends 5s is the same and his isn't inside a case. It seems the microphone is very directional. He's only got to hold the phone at a slightly different angle and his voice goes very quiet and tinny.

My experience of my iPhone 4S, and calls with users of other versions, is that iPhones are poor as phones. I used my 4S almost entirely with the Apple wired headset or a Plantronics M55 bluetooth one for 2 years.

Less brain irradiation too:)
