Ecoskin - Launches new HTC Desire HD & Nokia N8 models 100% recycled phone cases due to high demand

Jan. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Anokimobi, the UK product design company behind the ecoskin™; a range of eco-friendly and innovative phone cases, has just launched the Nokia N8 and HTC HD ecoskin™ models in to join the highly successful  iPhone 4 ecoskin™.  All ecoskin™ cases are precision-made in the UK from recycled high grade plastic and are also impregnated with silver ions to reduce bacteria levels on mobile phones. The ecoskin™ incorporates the same Biomaster® antibacterial protection technology used in hospitals equipment after a recent  Which Magazine report highlighted the potential for mobile phones to carry high levels of bacteria.

Tom Tranter, Director of Anokimobi says: “Our eco-friendly e-pouch™ pouches and cases for mobile phones already addresses issues that our customers feel strongly about; they want phone accessories made from recycled materials such as plastic, organic cotton and bamboo. We were surprised by the Which Magazine report about bacteria on phones and as a result we have worked with the producers of Biomaster® to get this advanced hygiene technology into the ecoskin™.“

The ecoskin™  range continues Anokimobi’s tradition of being environmentally friendly as both the cover and its packaging are made from recycled materials and can themselves be recycled. Furthermore, the product, unlike virtually all its competitors, is made entirely in the UK thus also reducing its carbon footprint.

Tranter adds: “We know that as well as addressing their values and concerns, our customers want a great-looking and well-made product. We’ve ensured that  the ecoskin™ range is a superb fit and allows access to all the usual phone functions; it’s precision manufactured in the UK by the same company that makes components for Aston Martin.”

Notes for Editors

Mobile phones and bacteria

A Which Magazine report published on 27 July 2010 stated: “Mobile phones can harbour on average 18 times more living bacteria than a flush on a gents' toilet, Which? has discovered.” The report can be accessed at:
http://www.which.co.uk/news/2010/07/how-clean-is-your-mob...

“Bacteria 'lingers on the surface of a phone which could then be passed on to other people if they held the handset to look at photos or other applications”
Telegraph, 28th July 2010

“The findings from a sample of phones taken by Which Magazine suggest 14.7 million of the 63 million mobiles in the UK today could be potential health hazards due to bacterium levels.” Daily Mail, 30th July 2010

Biomaster®
To guard against germs and bacteria for the lifetime of the cover Biomaster® is added to the ecoskin™ material; the same silver based additive used for many medical devices and proven to decrease bacterial levels by up to 99.9%. Biomaster® is produced by Addmaster (UK) Ltd of Stafford.
