If you have a non-apple raised edge case, does it interfere with your finger when you do the home swipe gesture?
 
yes, most of the cases I tried had raised edges. None interfered with the swipe as your thumb/finger comes back down from the ridge pretty quickly. But it is annoying - constantly rubbing your finger on it will get old really quickly. I hope case makers start to adapt their cases and lower the lip on that area. Apple's leather case works well IMO - although its cut away at the bottom, the bottom corners are still covered.

Yeah I assumed Apple cases wouldn't be an issue because they are open at the bottom.
 
I have an otterbox symmetry, which does have quite a big lip at the bottom and I’ve never hit it yet (been on since lunchtime on Friday).
