CES is chock full of fantastic futuristic concept devices so half-baked, experimental, and held together by smoke and mirrors that there\u2019s no way any actual human beings will ever lay a hand on them again, let alone buy them at a store. So don\u2019t start saving up for this fishy Avatar<\/em> car<\/a> yet. There\u2019s nothing wrong with this. It\u2019s cool to see these cutting-edge dream devices at least partially enter the real world, and their development does lead to real products along with inflated corporate egos.<\/p>\n

But man, sometimes I just want to see some modest yet cool tech that can start helping me with a real problem today. So while I guess it\u2019ll eventually be nifty to get a OnePlus phone with a camera that disappears behind glass<\/a>, I\u2019m much more interested in this Otterbox antimicrobial screen<\/a>\u00a0for cleaning phone filth.<\/p>\n

New tech products are presented as clean and sterile as possible. But nothing stays fresh forever. I like it when companies acknowledged that these products used all the time by grubby human hands eventually get dirty. It\u2019s why Star Wars and its used future aesthetic makes spaceships feel so cool and relatable.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s obviously bad and unhealthy for your phone to get super unsanitary. We already use screen protectors to guard against falls and cracks. So why not use that same screen protector to fight the growth of harmful bacteria?<\/p>\n

As reported by 9To5 Mac<\/a>, Otterbox is launching a new version of its Amplify screen protectors with added antimicrobial technology approved by the EPA. The proprietary ionic silver solution kills bacteria and stays potent over a long period of time because of how it is baked into the glass. The glass itself comes from Gorilla Glass maker Corning, so it should be plenty durable while retaining touch screen accuracy. There\u2019s no launch information yet, but unlike so many other CES products, at least this is real.<\/p>\n
