mophie® and InvisibleShield™, ZAGG Brands (NASDAQ:ZAGG) companies,
today announced the mophie UV Sanitizer® and InvisibleShield UV
Sanitizer, designed to kill 99.99% of the most common surface
bacteria1 found on mobile devices and other frequently touched
items by utilizing ultraviolet (UV) light. The mophie UV Sanitizer
features a Qi-enabled wireless charging lid so users can
simultaneously charge their mobile device while sanitizing other
personal items such as keys, credit cards, earbuds, and more.
The Center for Disease Control estimates that 80% of common
infections are transmitted by hands2 while another study found an
82% overlap between bacteria on test subjects’ fingers and their
phones.3 During this mobile age, it’s become nearly impossible to
avoid contact with mobile devices, which expose consumers to
harmful bacteria. This led mophie and InvisibleShield to create
environmentally friendly solutions that allow consumers to safely
and seamlessly sanitize their smartphones and other commonplace
items without the use of chemicals, washing, or other cleaning
supplies.
“We want to help our consumers stay protected against the
harmful bacteria they encounter on a daily basis,” said Brad Bell,
senior vice president, global marketing for ZAGG Brands. “Phones go
everywhere with us, and easily become a source of bacteria and
germs. Sanitizing your phone can also be cumbersome, requiring
cleaning products not always recommended by device manufacturers,
and not always covering a phone’s hard-to-reach areas. The mophie
and InvisibleShield UV Sanitizers were created to help solve this
consumer pain point.”
The mophie UV Sanitizer allows users to clean
their phone and household items up to 6.9 inches in length without
washing or using harsh chemicals. Using UV-C light technology, the
mophie UV Sanitizer kills 99.99% of the most common surface
bacteria found on household items in about five minutes. The 10W
Qi-enabled wireless charging lid gives users the freedom to charge
their device while sanitizing other personal items such as credit
cards, remote controls, earbuds, and wallets simultaneously.
Powered by a universal USB-C port with cable and wall adapter
included, the mophie UV Sanitizer is a simple and safe solution for
sanitizing your phone at home or in the office.
The InvisibleShield UV Sanitizer will work with
any smartphone up to 6.9 inches long and utilizes multiple UV-C
bulbs. A full sanitization cycle takes about five minutes and is
safe for all mobile devices, killing up to 99.99% of the most
common surface bacteria to keep devices safe from questionable
washing methods. An included USB-A to USB-C cable makes sanitizing
on-the-go simple.
Both products feature a seamless user experience and advanced
safety protocols. Simply place your phone or other items in the
sanitizer, press a button, and the noiseless cleaning cycle begins
immediately. A progress indicator displays how much time remains in
the cleaning cycle. If interrupted before complete, the UV-C lights
automatically turn off.
