OtterBox made a 'bacteria-killing' screen protector for your phone
That includes E. coli and staph
Face it, your phone screen is filthy. Think about all those times you texted from the toilet or scrolled through Instagram while riding the subway: Those streaks on your screen are not only schmutz but also breeding grounds for bacteria. That's where OtterBox's Amplify Glass Anti-Microbial comes in.
OtterBox teamed with Corning to develop the EPA-registered antimicrobial technology. "Amplify Glass now features proprietary anti-microbial technology that suppresses the growth of several common stains and odor-causing bacteria to protect the surface of the screen protector," OtterBox CEO Jim Parke explained in a release.
Plus the screens offer reportedly up to five times greater scratch resistance than standard soda-lime glass. The screen protectors will be compatible with OtterBox's selection of cases as well as latest-gen iPhones when they hit market in the near future.
