Does this product interfere with the home button? does it make the home button feel recessed?

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

this is a very good question and unfortunately i do not have the answer to it. the home button endd up being disfunctional for me, it worked for about 5 minutes then failed. if i push on the glass to the right of the home button it will work and then freak out. i do not advise buying thi product. its a good cheap fix but i had do disable the home button and use the on screen accessability option for the home button.

No, but the button is flush with the screen. It is hard to accidentally push.

No, it doesn't interfere with any of the hands-free on my device. The smart scroll and the air browse both still work just as they did without the protector. In fact the only difference I've been able to see from the bare glass is the tempered glass doesn't attract finger prints hardly at all, where as my bare screen smudged very easily. There really are no trade-offs here, it's all good things.

No, but I was not looking for this feature. There is a notch for the home button. I will say that I have been impressed with the overall quality of the product and it has been great when using as a second display for my iMac. It matches the design of the apple products better than anything else I found at this price point.

Strange, don't have any suggestions other than it maybe bad as it is not suppose to do that and imagine it would drive one crazy. Is there anything close to it that may interfere with the touch bar?

It works well. It doesn't interfere with the use of the phone in any way. All sensors work as planned. They include a button to place on the home button that will raise it above the surface, which you can use - or not - as you want. I used mine and was glad I got it as the button can be found easily. I haven't had any trouble with the raised surface of the home button causing trouble.

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.

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

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 the screen protector did not cover home button. The silicone is covering the home button.

Unfortunately it doesn't cover the home button but it pretty much covers the entire phone. I have no problems with it and no it's not going to leave a residue once removed. Keep in mind not all cases are compatible with the screen protector but it's a great product

I measured it with a caliper prior to applying it to my iPhone. I did the measurement with the peel-off film for protecting the adhesive still intact. It was less than 0.6mm, more than 0.5mm. My best guess is about 0.5mm, or 500um, installed. Quite thin, but definitely thicker than a plastic film. Your home button will be noticeably recessed after installation. Stick on buttons to eliminate the recess are provided for older iPhones, but with the touch sensor on the iPhone 5s, you have to deal with the slight recess. The recess is not a problem, but the feel takes some getting used to. I measured it with a caliper prior to applying it to my iPhone.

It does not cover the home button. It comes with a rubber boarder that covers all the top and side buttons, but it does not cover anything on the face of the device. The rubber insulator it comes with sits OK in the hard plastic surrounding. It would be nice if the hard plastic would cover the top of the device, alas, all that is there for that is the soft rubber I mentioned before.

not as I have noticed. any of the side buttons covered have extender buttons built in. nothing covered on the front.

Yes, the little round piece sticking out of the frame covers the home button. It isn't a hindrance at all.

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.
