While I am far from a germaphobe (my babies' pacifiers were rather cozy with my pant legs) I do recognize that gadget cleaning should make it onto the to-do list, especially considering phones are pretty much the germiest things in the world. I have never forgotten a news segment that demonstrated there was more nasty stuff on a phone handset than a bathroom door handle.
So. Cleaning your phone from time to time-not such a bad idea. Especially if your kids play around with it.
The small company behind the NueVue Gadget Cleaning Cases for iPhone and iPad had the same thought, so they invented a clever series of gadget cases lined with a screen-cleaning microfiber with an antimicrobial coating. You just squeeze the case a bit as you slide your phone or tablet out of to answer it, and voila-wiped clean.
As for the outside, not bad. There are lots of color choices, and I think the leather is the nicest looking though there are canvas and twill versions coming out too.
I tried it out at the CES show and I could see the difference right away in terms of fingerprints. (Mine was pretty nasty, so it did take two swipes.) They claim the antimicrobial benefits will last about 12-18 months, although hopefully after that it will still take care of the fingerprints. Still, it's a time-saver, and a smart alternative to spraying your phone with anti-bacterial stuff that ends up hurting us all in the long run.
Look for the NueVue Gadget Cleaning Cases for iPhone, iPad and iPad Mini on their site, and coming soon to Amazon. Unfortunately there's no preorder info on the website. Get on that, NueVue!
