Iphone 5s touch id with griffin survivor problem?

I just got an iphone 5s. I was so stoked for it to come back into stock i pre bough a griffin survivor iphone 5 case for it, which also fits. My problem is that the pretend griffin home button and the screen protector prevent me from using it. This is one of the features that i was mostly looking forward to using, but i can't. Should i cut the home button part and the bottom of the screen protector out? Should i get a new case? I also can't return it because its past the return point. Any help is appreciated.

You probably have this situation because you got an iPhone 5 case, not an iPhone 5S case. Try getting an iPhone 5S case for it. It might leave the Home button uncovered so you can use Touch ID. If you're in a hurry, or are just simply too lazy to do that, try to cut out the part that is causing the problem.

Hope I helped!

  • Problem with Iphone. How can I turn off without touch the Iphone? Yesterday I updated my Iphone to IOS 7.1.1 and today I was taking a photo with the Iphone blocked.

Tryed everything, I have 98% of battery and the touchscreen don't work for basics actions, like unblock or turn off the phone. Anyone know how to turn off the Iphone without the touchscreen?
