We’re taking all precautions possible when leaving the house these days and it’s important to keep surfaces and personal items clean as well as our face and hands to reduce our potential exposure.

CASETiFY’S UV Sanitizer disinfects 99.99% of germs using UV-C light, which is emitted from six builtin, mercury-free UV lamps. The compartment is large enough to fit any smartphone and can also disinfect other small objects, such as keys or anything else that can fit into the case. casetify.com
