It seems if home button cover is put, the Touch ID does not work. Will it work if I cut the home button cover smaller?

I wouldn't even bother putting the cover on the button. The Touch ID button is made of sapphire crystal, so only a diamond would be able to scratch it.

I did not try. I feel that the skinomi's skin is thicker than other brands (though not visually obvious). That thickness might be the reason why my finger could not fully rest on the fingerprint ID, I suspect cutting smaller may not help. I've just decided to go without the skin over the button, which normal with my previous iPhones.

The touch ID will not work as the technology needs to be able to read the print without obstacle.

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.

I did not put the home button cover on because I thought it would cause an issue. You can try and see it cutting it works and let us know thanks.

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

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.

I haven't had any problems with any of the buttons. I had a coworker mention that she had problems on her 4 with the screen protector, saying she had to push extra hard to get it to work. I had cut a stick on screen protector and stuck it on while I was waiting for the case to arrive, and ended up leaving it on even with the case, which also has it's own screen protector. I don't know if that adds enough extra thickness that allows the screen to be responsive, but anyways, I've had no issues whatsoever.

Yes, it covers the home button but very easy to press. The power button is also covered which makes it very hard to power on/off.

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

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

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?

I have this on my iPhone 5S. It doesn't interfere with TouchID at all. I use TouchID all the time to unlock my phone and haven't had a problem yet

I guess so, but the fit to the new home button is in question. I only use this for 5.

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

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

On the 4S the home button will be stuck to glass. You'll need to peel it off and stick it to the replacement glass.

No, it doesn't. There is a thin rubber "membrane" over the button. However, I took my handy dandy Exacto knife and trimmed the membrane right out. Now I can use the touch ID finger print when I want too... Still love the case! :) hope this helps!

I am an adult and I had the same problem that this case makes it difficult to use the on an off button. I would say your idea of removing the areas of the case covering those buttons might work. But, I have not tried this solution.

Honestly Joey I have the 5 but it's the same interface so I don't see why it wouldn't work. The home button is the only difference that would affect it that I can think of but I didn't have to do anything with the home button other than remove it to put the screen on initially. So I'm gonna say yes it will work.
