4 Products From OtterBox That Keep Your Phone Clean and Sanitized

If you could see the bacteria on your smartphone, you might think twice about answering that next text message. Your phone is one of the filthiest items you own, carrying 10 times as many germs as a public bathroom's toilet, according to one study. Luckily, you don't need to choose between being sanitary and staying connected. OtterBox is partnering with PhoneSoap to add new germ-fighting products to its Anti-Yuck collection. In addition to antimicrobial versions of the durable cases and screen protectors OtterBox is known for, its offerings now include gadgets designed to sanitize your smartphone. Here are four products that will make you feel better about your screen time.

1. Otterbox Commuter Series; $40

Phone cases in the OtterBox Commuter series are built to take abuse; they're also designed to combat the germs they're exposed to throughout the day. A silver-based antimicrobial additive in the case helps inhibit microbial growth and resist many common bacteria. It fits Google Pixel 4a, Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G, and Ultra 5G devices.

3. PhoneSoap 3; $80

To clean your phone without any scrubbing or fear of water damage, you need a UV light—and there's no easier way to get one than the PhoneSoap 3. Once you place your phone in the case, the UV lights inside will kill 99.9 percent of germs in just 10 minutes. The whole thing also doubles as a cell phone charger, so if you can remember to charge your phone once a day, you can sanitize it just as often.

4. PhoneSoap Go; $100

It's just as important to keep your phone clean while traveling as it is at home—if not more so. The PhoneSoap Go packs the same UV technology as the PhoneSoap 3, but it comes in a portable package you can throw into a bag or purse. Like the other model, this one also works as a charger, so you can sanitize and power-up your device no matter where you are. The PhoneSoap Go itself will stay charged for 45 cleaning cycles and comes with a travel case that helps it avoid damage on the road.
