The disinfection chargers have sensors to shut off UV when opened and log exposure. The cases and chargers have interfaces to show disinfection and charge status.

Invertible device covers can sanitize electronic devices like tablets, smartphones, earbuds, and laptops. The cases have UV-C light sources that can be turned on to sanitize the enclosed device when it is not in use.

A reusable, stretchable pouch made from a silver-infused fabric to clean and sanitize electronic devices like smartphones and laptops without liquids or chemicals. The pouch has a silver-impregnated yarn woven into a fabric that cleans and disinfects the devices when stored inside. The silver inhibits bacterial growth and kills pathogens like viruses and fungi. The pouch conforms to the device shape and covers most surfaces to provide thorough cleaning. It can be reused multiple times without cleaning between uses. The silver-infused fabric provides passive sanitization without liquids or chemicals.

A disposable case for mobile devices like smartphones provides protection against infectious agents like viruses and bacteria. The case has a removable fastener, such as a strap or drawstring, that can be attached to retain the device inside. The case material is made of a barrier material like nitrile rubber that prevents viruses and bacteria from penetrating. The case can convert between a relaxed configuration for inserting the device and a fitted configuration with the fastener to secure it.

Disposable bag for isolating electronic devices like phones and tablets to prevent cross-contamination. The bag has two panels that seal shut around the device with a fold-over flap secured by adhesive. One panel is touchscreen compatible. The bag may contain antimicrobial agents and include a tear line to open it after use. It can be dispensed from a stack in a dispenser.

Dispensing system for hygienic protective bags for mobile devices to prevent contamination and spread of germs. The system has a dispenser housing with a slot for withdrawing a protective bag from a roll. The slot width is larger than the bag width to allow easy retrieval. The slot intersects with a narrower section to facilitate opening the bag. This prevents contamination of multiple bags in the roll. An external shelf below the slot supports the opened bag and device.

A stretchable, antimicrobial case for electronic devices that self-sanitizes the device and prevents contamination. The case made from a stretchable fabric impregnated with silver particles that inhibit microbial growth. It has an opening to insert the electronic device and finger pockets to hold it. The case amplifies WiFi signals when in contact with the device.

Sterilizable enclosure for securing portable electronic devices like iPads in medical environments to prevent contamination and enable easy sterilization. The enclosure has a pivoting base and frame that close around the device with a seal in between. This seals off the device from contaminants. A transparent panel abuts the touchscreen for operation. A locking mechanism secures the enclosure shut.

Disposable protective sleeve for electronic devices that prevents contamination and transmission of bacteria between users by creating a sealed barrier around the device. The sleeve has a front and back panel with a removable expandable sheet that folds inward to seal the bottom. The top is sealed with a fastener. This allows the device to be placed inside and used while sealed in the sleeve. The expandable sheet can expand to stand the sleeve upright. The sleeve is disposed of after each use to prevent contamination transfer.

Portable terminal sterilization system that can be carried along with the device and easily sterilize it without requiring separate equipment. The system uses UV LEDs in the device's casing or cover to sterilize the device's surfaces. The UV LEDs can be activated by pressing a protrusion or winding/unwinding a cover section. The UV LEDs are powered by the device's NFC antenna. A rotating cover can also be used to shield the UV LEDs during sterilization.

Cell phone case with antimicrobial and fragrance properties. The case has an additive inside that provides desired functions without using a propellant. The additive can be a fragrance to improve the scent of the case, and also an antimicrobial agent like silver to make the case antimicrobial. This reduces or eliminates bacteria on the case surface. The antimicrobial properties of the case can be 99.9%.

Antimicrobial mobile communication devices like smartphones with housing embedded or coated with biocides to inhibit microbial growth on the device. The biocides can be organic or inorganic, like silver and zinc ions or nanoparticles, distributed throughout the case and touchscreen. This provides antimicrobial protection without the need for cleaning since the biocides are an integral part of the device. It enables using the devices in sterile environments like operating rooms where contamination is a concern.

Antifungal cover for electronic devices like smartphones with a detachable cover having an antifungal coating that can be attached to the device to protect the display from fungal growth.
