Antimicrobial Smartphone Protectors

OtterBox's Amplify Glass Adds a Layer of Defense to Devices

— April 30, 2020 — Tech
OtterBox is introducing Amplify Glass with Antimicrobial Technology to add a layer of protection to frequently used devices. The glass screen protector features EPA-registered antimicrobial technology to help reduce the spread of microbial growth, all the while offering the usual protection from scratches, bumps and the occasional drop. Thanks to silver ion technology, the protection that is embedded in the glass screen protector from OtterBox is long-lasting and will not wear with time.

For complete protection, OtterBox recommends pairing its new Amplify Glass with Antimicrobial Technology with the Defender Series Pro.

At a time when people are hyper-vigilant about cleanliness and self-protection, they are looking for products across all categories that have the potential to offer additional defense and peace of mind.
