Does your home button feel "mushy" at times if you have the Otterbox Defender case on?

I recently installed an Otterbox iPhone 5 Defender case onto my iPhone 5 (Obviously)
I don't know if it's just me but whenever I press the Home button, I don't get much of a click. I understand that the Otterbox protects the Home button & also covers it in a lot of rubber, but should it feel "mushy"?   Lol
I might be just a little neurotic considering I just got the phone.
Just want to know what others think about this! I'm used to that nice loud 'click' without the case!!!
Thanks

Every single iphone I have ever owned has had a Defender Otterbox.  The rubber is very flexible and pliable, so it does absorb the click.  However, it does not affect the function of the home button.

  • Does your Apple TV take a long time to get to the main menu?

    I have my Apple TV hooked up via HDMI to a Panasonic Plasma. Everything works pretty good except for the recurring missing from devices in iTunes. A restart of iTunes always brings it back.
    I'd like to know if my experience with slow start up is normal. When I switch from my regular TV output to the HDMI output for my Apple TV it takes a really long time to start up. I will get my photos that are my screensaver after about 1 minute. Then it takes another minute and a half or more to get to the main menu after pressing the menu button on the remote. Is this normal? Should it be connecting faster? If so, what can I do to the settings to speed things up.
    Thanks for the help.
    Cheers

    it can vary depending on the TV you have.
    HDMI handshaking isn't the most reliable thing (in any device).

  • My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    Hi Sabrinann21,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob."  Does it look something like this?  
    If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.
    Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Why does my "home" button on my ipad no longer work?

    Why does my home button on my ipad all of the sudden not work at all?

    I have to hit my home button a half dozen times to make it work.  I've tried to reset the phone and update the sorfware.  Is this a hardware problem?  Where do I go to get it fixed?

    At Apple Store this is handled with Replacement iPhone exactly like yours. If there is AppleCare or Warranty it will be covered, otherwise there will be a charge of $150 - $199 depending on iPhone model. If iPhone 5 it will be covered. If you want to try Virtual Home Button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Home.

    My home button feels like its sticky when I push it and it also makes this weird, almost plastic crunchy sound. It is the smallest problem, but probably one of the most annoying problems I have encountered.  Anyone have any advice?
