Review: NueVue Leather iPhone Case - Antimicrobial Protection





 


NueVue® Launches Line of iPhone/iPad Protective Cases

That Clean Screen Each Time Device is Removed;

Offers Antimicrobial Protection to Keep Device/s Bacteria-Free

Studies show that the average smartphone is covered with more bacteria

than toilet seats, kitchen counters, and the bottom of shoes.

UK-based NueVue®just expanded distribution of its unique line of protective cases for smartphones and tablets in the USA. The patent-pending cases protect smartphones and tablets because they clean the screen every time you remove the device and offer antimicrobial protection.

Looking for a better way to clean and protect his iPhone, Inventor Derek Batey, CEO of NueVue®and high-tech entrepreneur wondered, “Why is it such a hassle to maintain a clean iPhone screen? Why couldn’t a case do more than just hold the device — like clean and protect it?”

Phones and germs have made headlines for years, as the connection has been established by numerous sources. 

  • Recently, The New York Times reported on “cleaning the mobile germ warehouse,” in which an infectious disease specialist reported “that devices can be a source of disease transmission.”
  • FOX News reported a UK study that found “mobile phones 18 times dirtier than toilet handles.” 
  • Today Health asked, “Is that staph on your sweater?  10 Germ Hideouts” and discussed cell phones, “The things you touch a zillion times a day-iPhone, BlackBerry, keyboard, computer mouse — are big carriers of germs, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and flu viruses.”

After extensive research and testing, Batey found a solution.  He discovered that a unique blend of microfibers and BioCote® antimicrobial technology would not only clean the screen quickly — with a simple sliding motion — but would eliminate microbes as well. The result: a line of cases with clear advantages. Smartphones and tablets with clean screens are easier to see, tend to scratch less and are more hygienic. What’s more, NueVue®’s anti-microbial protection eliminates up to 80% of microbes in 15 minutes and continues working to eliminate up to 99.9% of microbes within two hours.  At the same time, the phone or tablet stays secure and protected due to to the case’s anti-static and shock resistant capabilities.

“The advantages of having a clean screen on your phone and tablet are certainly well understood. But we wanted our cases to do more than just clean and protect. Studies show that the average smartphone is covered with more bacteria than toilet seats, kitchen counters and the bottom of shoes,” says Derek Batey, CEO of NueVue®. “The warm batteries make the perfect breeding ground for pathogens and viruses.  According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, people are just as likely to get sick from their mobile phones as they are from doorknobs in public bathrooms! A phone or tablet that’s free of microbes is an essential consideration for personal well being.”

NueVue products are handmade in the highest quality cotton twill, leather and canvas and come in a variety of stylish colors. More information is available on NueVue.com.

Our Thoughts
Phones get disgustingly dirty.  If you're like me and wear a little makeup, even that tiny little bit gets all over the phone with each phone call.  And now that I have a smart phone, I'm always touching it.  As both a parent and dog owner, I know my hands aren't always the cleanest.  And I'm probably covered in child boogers or dog drool by the end of the day!  And who knows what bugs and germs my child picks up at school!  Kids love to play with phones, too - even though I don't let my child play with my phone, many parents do.  NueVue sent me the pink iPhone leather case for review.

NueVue's iPhone cases are really cool - not only stylish but they clean the phone! They are also anti-static and shock resistant. I love the bright colors they offer - and you can get cotton twill, canvas, or leather (leather is for iPhones only).  I put my iPhone as far as it will fit into NueVue's case, then push it up from the bottom to get it started and pull it the rest of the way out from the top.  You need to apply slight pressure across the phone, so the case wipes the phone clean.  And it does come out CLEAN!  Much better than just swiping it across my jeans, which may or may not be any cleaner than the phone was to begin with!  If you wish for detailed instructions with picures on how to clean your device, NueVue has that too: A clean screen has never been easier!

You can use NueVue's cases as your only case - you'll need to remove your phone (and the case will clean it as you do so) every time you want to use it.  Or, you can do what I do: since I've often only got one free hand to work with, my phone stays out of the case until I feel it needs to be cleaned.  Pop it in, slide it out, and voila, a clean phone!  Fabulous invention! 

Make sure to keep up with their Facebook page, too, they often do giveaways!
