Does the case allow direct access to the Home button so that on the 5S the biometric security feature can be used?

Yes it doesn't cover it at all I have the same phone and I just love this case.

Yes. It doesn't cover the front of the phone except on the very edges. The home button isnt covered at all.

Yes, that's what I have. The only thing is the finger print scan is covered y the case, so you can't use that function. Hope that helps

Yes. It has the Lightning connector. It's on a hinge, so you can move it forward if your 5s case is bulky.

Yes. Both buttons are accessible. The case is very nice, however, as mentioned in previous reviews the magnets did affect the operation of my device. I have since switched cases.

No. The image here is a little misleading. There is a cutout for the home button. So, it does not offer any protection for the button.

I don't think so. There is a cover over the front that will keep the fingerprint sensor on the home button from working.

Im not sure which button your referring to, but if it's the main one to get to your apps and home then no it's really easy on my phone.. I like the case a lot..

This case completely covers the home button, so it is incompatible with the 5s. Case-mate makes an updated version which works with the fingerprint sensor. Look for that one instead.

It should fit the 5s since they have the same build and frame. If your going to use the fingerprint scan make sure you purchase a case that doesn't cover the home button, this case should be fine.

No. The buttons are open so they can be accessed. Had this case for over a year and this has never been an issue.

Yes, but terrible case, doesn't fit the on/off button . So to turn it off with 5s you have to open. The plastic is made for only one drop, and it crumbles. Would not recommend this.

I have a 5S and it fits perfectly. But the case covers the Home button, so you can't use the fingerprint security functionality. I didn't care about that so it's fine for me.

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.

The home button is not covered by the case in the gray-with-orange trim version. That's the one I have and you can use the home button and the fingerprint option. Not true for all colors, though. Go to the Griffin site and it tells you which models and colors are compatible with fingerprint touch and home button.

We had ours on the new 5s and it works fine. Doesn't interfere with Touch ID, both thumb and fingers.

Yes, the case offers access to the shortcut button. There are controls for everything except the shutter speed dial on the front which can be worked around using the shortcut button.

Since the 5 is the same chassis as the 5S, yes. However, it does cover the home button, so if the print scanner is a deal breaker, that may matter to you. Very robust and protective case, though.
