OtterBox, Corning Selling Smartphone Screen Protectors With Antimicrobial Tech

OtterBox and Corning partnered on a smartphone screen protection line, Amplify, with antimicrobial technology that’s said to suppress growth of several common microbe stains and bacteria, they announced Monday at CES. The antimicrobial property of the screen protectors, based on ionic silver, is embedded into the glass so it can maintain damage resistance, optical clarity and touch sensitivity, they said. Amplify Glass’ antimicrobial technology is registered with the EPA, they said.
