Does it hinder your ability to use the front camera for facetime?

No, there is a circular hole in the polarization filter (but not the glass) so the front facing camera isn't affected.

Yes! I love this cover, good protection for my toddler son and I can use facetime with his grandparents easily, too.

It's only akward taking a picture of yourself with the rear facing camera. With the phone having a front facing camera it doesn't pose many problems and you definitely don't have to take it out of the case.

There is an opening for the home button and the speaker just below the front camera. The front camera is covered by the glass. Not being a "selfie" kind of guy, I couldn't say if it degrades the image quality. I did take a test photo with it and despite the subject matter, the photo looked sufficient. I've had it on my 5s for about 2 weeks and wish this had been available years ago. I really like it.

No - The front sensor is not covered at all. However swiping for a screenshot is more difficult because of the case overlap onto the screen.

I haven't tried doing this, but if you attract one camera in front and one in back, you should be able to tap ( I believe it's the little green button on the side of the monitor). I also would use the camera with the antenna in front, so u should be able to check your front and back. ( FYI make sure both camera r turned on). Hopes this helps if not let me know I will be using my this weekend.Beth

Yes it is as an add on, you can buy the camera and install it and view on the player. The faceplate is not detachable.

This case works fine with Face Time. The speaker area is surrounded by a thick plastic frame, but is completely open and does not hinder sound. Also, the microphone area is opened and it can pick up sound perfectly. You should have no problems with Face Time or any other feature that needs to use the microphone or speakers.

I do not know, I look at as a feature to let you know the cameras on. I don't think that I would not want it to, since when I turn it on I want to take a picture in most cases.

Just tried it on my iPad with Facetime (video and voice-only) and it worked great.I assume it will work with other applications such as Skype as well.

Good Day Debra, the front camera is for FaceTime video calls where you can see the person who you are talking to, I can also use the program skype, for the same result, the 32 gig ITouch comes with a rear facing camera for still shots and video, I am pleased with the quality of the pictures and would not hesitate to use it in place of my Fuji point and shoot, I have not tried video yet, so I cannot comment of the quality of video taken, Hope this helps, Al Klokis

Yes it does, but you may want to know that will block the front camera, that doesn't bother me since I don't use it but thought may be good to know.

We only use it in the forward facing mode, so I can't answer your question. I do suggest you go on their website or call the customer service number. They should have that answer for you. Good luck.

Maybe w the front camera, but definitely not w the rear. You may want to take it out first.

Yes, you can stick it on the front camera, but the len I received was bad, not clear at all.
