Protect Your Health with an Antimicrobial Phone Case

Posted on Jun 30th 2015

Most people touch their smartphones dozens, if not hundreds of times per day. But what you're touching may suprise you. While you're scrolling and tapping and pressing the glass to your face, you're coming into contact with the thousands of bacteria that live and thrive on your device. One study found the average mobile phone has about 25,000 microbes per square inch. Another claimed that mobile phones harbor 18 times more bacteria than a flush handle in a typical public restroom (Yeah, this gross us out too). And when you touch your device, about 30 percent of the bacteria will be transfered to your figertips. Germaphobe? More like germaphone.

If you work in healthcare, education, or a role that requires you to come into contact with many people, these bacteria aren't just gross, they can be dangerous to your health by spreading illnesses. While disinfecting your mobile phone (and hands) before and after each use will take care of this problem, we know it isn't really practical. Luckily, there are now phone cases available that will do this work for you - killing 99.99 percent of common microbes - which includes bacteria, viruses, and fungi - found on the surface of your device.

Trident, a leading manufacturer of rugged and durable mobile and tablet device cases, has debuted a line of cases that utilize antimicrobial protection for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Trident’s Antimicrobial cases are infused with silver ions that keep the product cleaner, while preventing the growth of up to 99.99% of mold, mildew and odor causing bacteria. Trident's Kraken AMS Antimicrobial cases offer the ultimate product protection from bacteria growth and drops or spills, since they also meet military standards on vibration, dust, sand, rain and drops. A built-in screen protector, port protectors, and a pop out kickstand for media viewing make these cases an exceptional value, while keeping you safe and your phone clean.
