Tap the hotspot button to turn it on. If you have a 4-inch iPhone, this also turns on Wi-Fi Calling. If you have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, there's more room for two bars of signal, and you can switch between those two bars to choose how much cellular and how much hotspot you want.

What's my connection speed? Your mobile carrier determines how fast and for how long your phone uses data. Sprint: If your download speed is listed as 0.5-5 Mbps, it's an LTE connection. If it's listed as a 3G connection, it's using the older 2G standard.

Verizon: If your download speed is listed as 0.3-3 Mbps, it's an LTE connection.

T-Mobile: If your download speed is listed as 1.0-10 Mbps, it's an LTE connection.

The case doesn't require any special tools to take it apart. But I still recommend keeping a set of the little pry tool included in some of our iPhone 5s cases. That's what you'll use when you need to unlock a phone stuck in an emergency call, like last week when I helped a guy whose iPhone 5c would not respond to remote locks. The tool is about 3.5 inches long and made of silicon, plastic and rubber. Use it to take off a back plate and remove a battery.

Is the hotspot on my iPhone free?
