Does the case cover the home button? i have an iPhone 5s and i use the Touch ID on it, so if it covers the home button, i will not be able to use it.

No, the case doesn't cover the home button. It doesn't cover anything on the front of the phone; there's no screen protector at all. The only screen protection it provides is a slightly raised rim around the edge, so if the phone drops onto a flat surface, the screen won't touch.

No, it does not cover the home button. I have a 5S as well and it works perfectly fine.

No, it does not cover the home button. It only covers the back and sides of the phone except for the bottom.

Nope. It does not cover the home button. I have an iPhone 5 S as well, and loving this case!

I don't have a 5S, but the case is a little loose & allows the phone to slide around a bit. You'll probably have to straighten it out each time to make sure the home button/sensor it aligned with the cutout. The cutout is VERY close to the bottom edge of the home button on the 5. I don't know enough about the sensor on the 5S to know how much of your finger has to contact how much of the sensor. Could be an issue.

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 :)

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

The 5s added the finger print reader to the home button, and the bottom of the case that comes with this armband is rubber and covers the home button. You wouldn't be able to use the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone while it is in this case. If you wanted to just use the standard lock screen password on a 5s with this case/arm-band, it would work fine. You could also (not recommended by the manufacturer) use an Exacto knife and cut out the spot for the home button if you wanted to use it with the fingerprint reader. I'm guessing they probably already have a new version coming for the 5s.

It doesn't cover the power button. While it does cover the volume buttons, there are little plastic nubs sticking out that allow you to access the volume keys by pressing the case (looks like a rubber version of the volume keys under the case). I've never had a problem accessing any keys with this case.

I don't find that it interferes with the home button at all. It feels flush with the screen.

You have the option to block the home button depending on how you put the IPAD in the case. One end has a shield and the other side doesn't. We love this case and easy to carry for them.

No. None of any of the buttons are covered. I will tel you, buy this cover. It is the prettiest, thinnest, best fitting, good looking I have ever used onan iphone.In the end to me what it does is to keep my iphone looking the same way as the reason why I bought it, light and thin.

Hello Brad and thank you for your interest in this product. The home button is covered and not accessible while in the case. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions. Thanks Again!!

If you are talking about the fingerprint ID thing on the home button, then this would work because nothing obscures the home button. There is a static adhesive screen cover that has cut-outs for the home button and speaker.

It does not cover the button so I can use your fingerprint. It covers the sides and back. U can use a screen protector if u want but I don't and it is fine

No, the home button is not covered. On the bottom there is a spot open for the speakers and such, and a rubber closure that goes across the middle and protects the charging port. Not sure if that's the best description, but it's as close as I can make it :)

The one for the 5s has a little hole in the front for the Touch ID. I purchased the green blue one that's pictured here for my son's 5s.

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

It does not provide protection for the home but and I dont think u want that because these covers are very sticky and it would probably peel off the home button. If u do buy a cover make sure to use a lot of spray

Absolutely. The home button is the only part of the phone that's exposed, and OtterBox Defender does that so you can place your finger directly onto the button. The finger print function works just as it should.
