Bacteria is one of the main causes of acne, and numerous studies show that the average phone has 18 times more bacteria on it than does a public toilet seat, including staph, E. Coli and “super bug” MRSA.

PhoneSoap 2.0 is a paperback-sized gadget that uses UVC rays (the same used by hospitals) to sterilize phones — and anything else that fits inside. It only takes 10 minutes, and a charge-cord slot in back lets you recharge while it works.
