Abstract
Certain embodiments described herein are directed to mobile device bumpers that can reversibly couple to a mobile device case or a mobile device. In some examples, the mobile device bumper comprises a bioactive material that can kill or inactivate bioorganisms. The bioactive material can be a photocatalyst and may also comprise one or more transition metals. The mobile device bumpers can be used to reduce spread of infections.
