Does the fingerprint scanner for the 5S work through the screen cover?

Yes it does, it isn't perfect. I usually just take my phone out. Personally, this was a good deal for me. I was willing to take a risk on a cheap armband instead of buying a pricey one. I've been pretty satisfied with my armband

Yes ma'am it does. I currently have the 5s and the only thing I wasn't a fan of is how hard and long you have to press the fingerprint scanner before it recognizes your print, if at all.

Yes, the fingerprint reader works just fine. There are still a lot of tiny air bubbles everywhere though, which is pretty annoying.

Yes. The CEO of tech armor gave me a sample while I was waiting in line to buy an iphone 5s Friday morning. While the fingerprint sensor is slightly recessed from the surface of the phone, and the Tech Armor glass adds a little thickness, the sensor still reads my fingerprint totally fine. The sensor only needs a partial read to unlock your phone anyway. Buy this product! It feels great.

Yes - I originally covered the fingerprint scanner on my Samsung S5 and removed it a day later without any difficulty.

There is a plastic cover over the entire front of the phone allowing it to be water resistant. The cover has a small cusion of air between it and the screen. The cover inhibits the fingerprint scanner on the 5s a little. I find it usuall works the second try.

No, it does not(sadly)... The case has two issues: 1. you can't utilize the finger print scan with the 5S & 2. the opening by the Ear speaker/camera lets dust & lint into the case(a lot). I could almost deal with 1, but 2 made me get a new case as I was taking the case apart to clean it almost daily.

I did not have good luck with this cover. It does enclose the 5s but you have to push the home button hard for it to work. Also this case says its for the 5s but if you use the thumb print security it will not work. I ended up biting the bullet and going to best buy and buying the life proof case.

The button is actually not covered. I have the 5s and I use the fingerprint option so it has to be uncovered

Hi PJ, the Glas.tr slim is slim enough that you do not need the jelly bean buttons to access the touch ID button on the phone. So yes you would still be able to utilize he fingerprint technology in the 5s.

I believe it does. My iPhone 5s fit in the 5 case, but the 5 case does not have the fingerprint scan. It's the littlest of differences.

Yes it does. There is a circle cut out around the home button so it can read your finger front for the 5s.

Yes, the fingerprint reader/scanner works fine! There are no obstructions from the case in regards to the finger print reader! It's a great, slim and protective case!

It will fit the 5s perfectly but it will cover the home button so the touch ID feature will not work.

No. Besides the beveled edges on the 5s' button, it would obviously block the surface which reads your fingerprint.

yes it fits very well, but there is no screen cover. there is an inner case and the colored two piece outer case. I ordered a separate tempered glass screen for the 5s, 8 bucks on ebay. I am happy with the case but not the 31 days it took to arrive. hope this helps you

Yes, the fingerprint scanner work just fine. The only thing I recommend is to setup your fingerprint before you put on the case.
