We know it sounds like an odd place to start, but do us a favor and try it out. Bulky cases can muffle sound and impede reception, most commonly if the case is made of (or features) metal.
So trying taking your case off for a few days, just to test it out. If you notice a significant difference, and continued improvement in your cell reception, then it’s likely that the case posed a problem. You’ll need to replace it with a better version, or get used to case-free living. The good news is that, other than the potential cost of a new case, this is a very affordable solution.
