Studies say yes, UV-C does kill bacteria, but phones may have crevices that the UV light doesn't shine on and the small UV-C cleaners are not great on viruses. Not as effective as rubbing alcohol.

Your phone practically is a toilet.


If you handle it daily then it's likely coated in contagions and nasty crap

Just grabbed a home soap for myself yesterday, grabbing one of these as a backup or gift.

3 has both USB-A and USB-C ports to charge your phone.

Most of SD already knows this, judging by the votes.

If it's a true UV-C source and the glass is UV-transmissible quartz (regular glass would absorb most of the UV) then yes, should be very effective.

I haven't bought one of these yet though because of possible UV damage to my phone and its case (need to research more; for now I use 70% IPA, daily).

It probably wouldn't do enough damage to really matter in the average lifetime of a phone though. However, if you have a cheap transparent case, I'd expect it to yellow very fast though (maybe instantly even).

Agree about the alcohol, but I also think small crevices wouldn't matter much since your fingers aren't going to be in contact with those surfaces anyway.
