Antimicrobial iPhone Cases That Prevent Lint and Germs

Your iPhone already serves as a compact multitool—camera, calculator, messenger and more. Now it can help keep your clothes and surfaces neat, too, thanks to a new line of lint-removing, antimicrobial iPhone cases from Stitched.

These cases use a woven antimicrobial stitching that lets you sweep away lint, dandruff and pet hair with a simple swipe of your phone. The treated surface also inhibits bacterial growth that can occur when phones come into contact with dirty surfaces, helping reduce the accumulation of germs.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the Stitched case aims to replace disposable lint rollers. With an expected four-year lifespan, the case reduces the need for single-use lint products that contribute to large amounts of yearly waste.

Stitched offers four design options—Bold, Performance, Craftsman and Minimalist—so users can choose a style that fits their taste while keeping their device protected and presentable.

The company is running an Indiegogo campaign to fund production and is offering early-backer incentives. Supporters can access discounted pricing and other rewards through the campaign.
