Recently, my friend Abraham and I developed a prototype and filed a utility patent for a cleaning mechanism for mobile devices. The mechanism is integrated into the box that is used to carry the device, such as a belt pouch.

Both protect and clean your mobile device
We came up with the idea when we noticed that touchscreen devices, such as digital cameras, iPhone, etc. become dirty quickly due to grease spots and finger prints on the touchscreen surface. Currently available bags and boxes only have limited support for cleaning mechanisms, e.g. a bag with microfiber lining. Such bags suffer from lack of stability and robustness of the outer shell and do not protect the device from physical damage. Therefore, our cleaning mechanism is targeted at boxes, such as belt pouches, which can be equipped with a hard shell that protects the device.

If you are interested in learning more about our patented mechanism or would like to get in touch to purchase a prototypical belt pouch, just drop me a line.
