On modern cellphones, a significant portion of the PCB is
devoted to a highly-optimized etched antenna. You're not
going to do better in a phone cover, especially as a passive
reflector. A vehicle mounted external antenna helps a
little in fringe areas but if you're truly off the beaten path
you're looking at a fixed directional (yagi) antenna or
satellite. Point is, cellular antennas and sensitivity are
already about as good as possible within practical limits.
Coverage has more to do nowadays with business (ROI) and
political (NIMBY, NIMPWA (not in my protected wilderness
area)) realities than technology. |

Goes with the new sporran cellphone carry, I suppose. |

How about trousers with antennae woven into the
fabric, and a connector to the phone? Or an antenna
hat? |
