We love the new Ecoskins by Anokimobi that we’ve just ordered in, which are a range of top quality smartphone covers made of eco-friendly recycled plastic and infused with special bacteria-resistant silver ions to keep your phone cleaner and safer.
The Ecoskin is available as an iPhone 4 skin, Nokia N8 skin or HTC Desire HD cover, protects your phone from scratches and bumps and comes in a great range of colours.
Here are three reasons why we’re excited about them:
They’re antibacterial
protecting you from all those bugs and germs that can make you ill. Mobile phones are a breeding ground for bacteria – just think about everything you handle over the course of the day getting passed on to your phone. Not only that, but phones often get handed around between people – to share a photo, for example, or to point out something interesting you’ve found on the internet. So it’s not just the things you’ve touched that are getting all over your phone – it’s the things everyone else who touches your phone has touched, too!
According to a study by Which Magazine taken from a sample of phones, 14.7 million of the 63 million mobiles in the UK today could be potentially harmful to health due to bacterium levels on them. Not to mention that… well, it’s just kind of gross!
So to protect against germs, Anokimob have added Biomaster to the material of the ecoskin. Biomaster is a silver-based additive which is used for many medical devices, and is proven to decrease levels of bacteria by up to 99.9% – making it the perfect ingredient to help you keep your phone germ-free.
They’re eco-friendly
and made from 100% recycled, 100% recyclable high grade plastic. Not only that, but the cardboard packaging is 95% recycled and the plastic tray frontage is 80% recycled. Every effort has been made to make both the case and the packaging as environmentally friendly as possible – so that’s something to feel good about!
They’re made in the UK
by the same people who make components for Aston Martin, which means the fit of the case is superb, clinging to your phone’s every curve. And because we don’t need to import them from a far off land, as with most mobile phone accessories, your carbon footprint is reduced.
Though Ecoskins cover most of your phone, there are cutouts to allow it to be charged whilst still in the case, and to allow access to all buttons and functions. As Ecoskins do not protect the screen, you may wish to pair it with an antibacterial iPhone 4, Nokia N8 or HTC Desire HD screen protector to ensure full protection.
