Studies have found that the coronavirus can survive on surfaces for up to 9 days, which can include your mobile devices and cases. Most people have their mobile devices in their hand or pressed against the side of their face constantly. It’s easy to see how germs can be transferred from our devices to our skin.
The easiest way to prevent that is to clean your mobile devices and cases with disinfectant wipes (70% alcohol). Never use pure alcohol as it can strip the oleophobic (helps prevent oil damage) and hydrophobic (helps prevent water damage) coatings. If you don’t have disinfectant wipes available it is recommended to use a slightly damp, microfiber cloth with soapy water.
Regardless of which method you use, make sure to power down the device and unplug it first. Also, avoid any openings and excessive moisture to prevent damage. Clean daily and reach out to us if you have further questions.
