According to Proporta it’s a fact that your mobile phone has about 25,000 germs on its surface at any given time where as your toilet has only 47.

To help protect yourself against those nasty germs Proporta has developed a new iPhone case made from anti-microbial materials.  The silicone case, which is made from Steri-Touch material, comes in black with a gray interior.

The case is super light weight and adds little or no bulk to the overall feel of the phone.

The anti-microbial case, which comes with a lifetime warranty, is available for $20.95 by clicking here.
