I received the one with the hidden home button (I ordered the one with the exposed button). I'd like to make it work for us. Where is the button?

if the button is exposed, its literally just a cut out. You can achieve the same result by drilling one of the holes on either side big enough to stick your finger through.

A new home button is not included. You have to take the existing one off of the old glass and clean it up a bit to re-use it with the new glass.

I had the same problem with this replacement. The sensitivity was dead in two areas right above the home button. There is no fix as this is a very cheap product. I ended up purchasing another replacement digitizer that was a more expensive. It has worked flawlessly for several months now. Here is the link to that digitizer- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C9GCMCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Good Luck!

Most of the time I don't ever respond to these but since it took awhile for me to figure this out myself I'm going to help. I had the same issue.... Apparently there is some stupid little button on the bottom of the unit that I found. The fun part is it isn't even a button. You have to read the little strip where the sticker is and on there is says reset. Press and hold that button and the unit will turn back on. I hope this helps. PS. Remember there isn't an actual button so don't spend a long time like I did searching for an actual button. The button is hidden under the sticker along the bottom.

Unfortunately, it does not come with the home button, you have to re use your original.

I believe it is because the newer version eliminates the button cover that is on the bottom over the home button. I would absolutely go with the newer version. The little cover was not my favorite thing. It made it a bit hard to push that button and as you know your push it a lot. The problem is completely fixed with the new one. The case is really great, enjoy.

Mine covers the home button. Sounds like you definately ended up with a wrong or defected case.

I think I've got it at home. Have you tried pressing the Reset button just below the Big Green Arrow button? If some of the paint rubbed off it might not be labeled. It's sort of inline with the raised border that circles the rest of the buttons. Holding it down for a minute should wipe out all pairings.

I would advise calling the company and seeing if they can walk you through what may have happened? Or go to the store and trade it in for a new one. They can transfer the number and everything pretty much right there. I had no problems when my daughter's acted up. Honestly have no clue why there would be letters/numbers under the lock screen? Try rebooting first, leave it off for like 30 minutes and see what happens. Otherwise, follow with my other 2 choices. Sorry, thats the best I have on that. :)

Do you mean the home button and on/off? Maybe just a smidge. But the on-screen buttons work like a charm! :) The level of protection this Otter Box gives far outweighs any button issues, I think :)

Yea you can click the home and power button but it does not do anything. I hope you enjoy this fake i phone i know I enjoy mine

Nope! No access to the playlist or power buttons on top. I wish they would finally make a case that address the top buttons.

The picture is showing the back of tha case. The bottom of the front has slit for the home button! I hope i was helpful

The one I received looks just like the retail pictures, not the customer ones. However, the home button is definitely not blocked by the case. there is about a quarter inch between the bottom of the home button and the top of the case.

Thanks so much-you are absolutely right. It makes all the difference to be in the home mode. I didn't even know how I got into the shop mode. Thx again.

Sounds like you got funkled as I did recently by a Marketplace vendor. She told me I could get a refund through Amazon. Would send you a photo of mine, but it's a .7 and the buttons are different from yours. Sorry!

Apple hides the power button on the back left side as others said. Seems they demand a sleek artistic look, though frustrating to folks who expect a power button to be right up front as all other electronics have.
