Smartphones are held constantly, put down on dirty surfaces, touched by others, etc., so they’re bound to pick up a lot of germs and bacteria. Cleaning a smartphone can be tricky as certain cleansers can actually do more harm than good, but PhoneSoap has taken the guesswork out of properly cleaning smartphones. Using two UV-C bulbs, PhoneSoap 3 kills 99.99% of germs and features a USB and USB-C port so users can charge their phone while cleaning it.

OtterBox offers several types of screen protectors, including antimicrobial, anti-glare, edge-to-edge protection, and blue light blocking, which are available for just about any smartphone or tablet.
