A Forbes article recommends getting a kit with a home button for easier installation. Does this kit have a home button, and does it make a difference?

No the kit does not have a home button, if ur home button has no issues from ur previous iPhone u shid be fine! Installation will be the same regardless. Only difference is now u have to install the home button which takes 10 more minutes to install. I installed mine with in an hour Or less. It's more tedious then anything.

This kit does not have a home button, you have to use your existing one. I would say it depends on where your existing screen is broken. If the screen is shattered near the home button, then it may be beneficial to get a kit with a home button as you might have broken shards stuck to the tape that holds the button in place. Nice but not required though.

No it doesn't have one but that doesn't matter cuz the old one stays connected the phone not the screen

Hello,I am pretty sure I had to preserve the home button double tape. The other 3M tape is not installed. It was the first time I've done this and it seemed to work fine.

No. You have to switch over the home button and several other parts from the original phone.

You shouldn't have to worry the volume keys are in the right placement the only physical button that got changed was the homekey.

It's all according to what works best for your set-up. They were running a sale when we purchased ours with the base keypad. I purchased one without the base keypad for my mother-in-law. Both systems work great!!

No, home button is not included. If you need touch screen with home button, buy it at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0F747A

Doesn't come with a home button but it's just held on by tape so you can either order another one or transfer the existing one on the old screen to the new one.

I just press the up button. So far I have no problem. Give it a minute to get started, and keep your finger on the up arrow.

Does not come with a home button. If I was to replace the digitzer again I would purchase a middle bezel to insure a tight fit. The wifi cable is not necessary but it could be easily cut during the removal of the digitizer. I was lucky, accidentally cut the wifi wire about 1/32" of an inch but still works.

If the listing is for a complete assembly then the home button will come with the touch screen

Don't put it on the home button. It's highly unlikely that the home button will get schrated and it does get hit by something it will not scratch it. As vtrieu said, it's made of sapphire crystal and only a diamond can scratch it.

Nope! It provides a small opening just larger than the home button - I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. :)

Unless u Want change out the home button along with the digitizer...its not required to replace the screen. However the home button is just stuck to the home button PC ribbon. You can carefully peel.the home button off this ribbon. The button only goes on one way so pay attention to the alignment when replacing the home button

Yes, I may have messed up on the assembly though because I didn't transition the home button properly.

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

No, the home button is not included. And the double sided tape is skimpy at best.
