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.

Scientists at the University of Arizona have found that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats
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.

yup, not only that but i recall reading that some sickening stuff is nanometer wavelength specific, so not every "purple light" will cut it... this is also why it's laughable whenever i see uv as a "feature" in any tabletop air filter... as the filter itself should be a desiccant. commercial applications include uv only when filtration is used in very high humidity, such as manufacturing that generates a lot of steam, and even then the uv is to sterilize the filter media itself, not the air. the one place "cheap" uv is effective is as a stage in aquarium water filtration as it quickly reduces fine detritus clouds than using mechanical filtration alone.

This device is great I love it the viruses jump off my phone before I even put it in so it doesn't have to do anything.

Difference between the two? I can see these also being useful for small items like earbuds and jewelry

From what I read the 3 has charging ports and the 1 doesn't.
