Smartphone sanitizer - GIF

Ultraviolet light is used to kill germs. Will that short an exposure do it? Couldn't tell you. If it's free, it might be worth trying.

Frank: you'd be surprised where folks use their phones these days. Or maybe not! I am one of those folks who reads in the bathroom. And my phone and tablet both have 500GB memory cards in them with as much of my library on them as I can fit. Hoping soon to get new phone and tablet that take 1TB cards, so I can get more on them. That gives me over 13,000 books of fiction, and quite a bit more than that of metalworking, electronics, computer, and other technical books. That said, one or both accompany me about everywhere. If I need to kill time, standing in a line or at the toilet, one or both are with me. My toilet is equipped with a bidet, so I don't normally have to get my hands dirty, and I still wash them after using the facilities, just because it's a habit too long practiced to give up.

For me a phone is almost the most useless tool I own with the exception of the built-in flashlight and camera, and it is a poor excuse for a flashlight, I probably haven't used it to access the internet half a dozen times in all the years I have owned one, unless i get a lot of spam calls or take a lot of pictures I put it on charge once a week whether it needs it or not. However it is a pretty good stress reliever when it rings while I am doing something I haul it out of the holster and toss it as far as I can throw it. Since it is a Sonim x8800 mil and Miners spec it is tough enough to bounce off a concrete wall as long as I don't try to emulate Nolan Ryan with the dang thing
