I've had this experience. My impression is that the microphone on the iPhone is positioned such that if you don't talk directly into it, the voice is muffled or distorted. It makes conversation near impossible. Anyone else notice this?

No, all family members have iPhones, about 6 plus coworkers. I never have comm problems unless they’re on another network (not ATT).
I know, some areas of the country your experience may vary!
Yes, it is the cover on the phone. Most covers make you sound like your in a barrel. Take the cover off and it sounds fine.
Have ran into this with the water proof type.
My wife, my parents, and I all have iPhones. None of us has ever had this issue. As a matter of fact, when talking to my folks or my wife, I can hear so clearly through them that I could hear the conversation on the TV in the background at my folks' house, or my kids talking away if they're in the same room as my wife. My folks have the iPhone 5, and we have the 4.
