About Us
Our Story
Our journey began a few years back. I’m Kenneth Moore, the mind behind the WynnShield™. With a keen awareness of bacteria in my surroundings, I’ve always been a frequent hand washer, constantly seeking ways to rid harmful bacteria from my devices. Over the past decade, I’ve worked extensively in hospital operating rooms, where I noticed the pervasive use of mobile devices. Despite their widespread presence, there was no adequate standard procedure to protect these devices from the growth of product damaging bacteria in healthcare settings. It became clear that a crucial element was missing: a means to cover and safeguard mobile devices from product damaging bacteria.
Doctors and nurses are resorting to makeshift solutions like ziplock bags, but these lacked good functionality and continuous microbial product protection. Thus, the concept of WynnShield™ was born. From homes to hospitals and everywhere in between, the need for a more effective and streamlined solution was evident.
I envisioned creating a disposable, easy to clean surface that could seamlessly wrap around mobile devices adhering to itself while preserving device functionality and leaving no residue upon removal—an ambitious endeavor, but one we pursued nonetheless. The WynnShield™ protective wrap, infused with antimicrobial technology powered by Microban®, emerged as the solution. It serves as a temporary surface for mobile devices, effectively inhibiting product damaging bacterial growth by up to 99.9% on its surface, ensuring continuous microbial reduction throughout the lifespan of the wrap. Keeping devices cleaner for longer.
Whether shielding your device from harsh environments or safeguarding your devices from product damaging bacteria, the applications for an easy-to-use, disposable protective wrap are endless across various industries. WynnShield™ is poised to revolutionize how mobile devices are handled in healthcare and other sectors where mobile device cleanliness is paramount.
As we delved deeper into the filthiness of mobile devices, we realized that WynnShield™ could address global challenges beyond healthcare. Our aspiration is for WynnShield™ to be embraced not only in healthcare but also in food services, construction, fitness, travel, outdoor recreation, and countless other industries worldwide.
What We Want To Achieve?
Our goal is to enhance protection and cleanliness for mobile devices by offering a durable, easy-to-use protective surface powered by Microban® Antimicrobial Technology that provides continuous product protection.
We also aim to educate individuals on the importance of good mobile device hygiene and identify behaviors that put them at risk. The WynnShield™ ensures mobile devices remain significantly cleaner and safer for users throughout their daily activities, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and promoting better hygiene in various environments.
Product Protection That Lasts™
Benefits
Benefit Comparison
Antimicrobial Continuous Protection
The WynnShield™ offers continuous antimicrobial protection. Its embedded Microban® technology actively fights bacteria on the surface of the WynnShield™ for its lifespan, providing ongoing product protection even between cleanings.
Convenience
While phone bags and ziploc bags may provide a physical barrier against contamination, they require regular replacement and can be cumbersome to use. In contrast, the WynnShield™ provides continuous product protection so the need to regularly replace throughout a work shift is lessened, offering a convenient and hassle-free solution for long-term protection.
Compatibility
Issues can arise with UV lights, as they may not effectively clean hard-to-reach areas like the cracks and crevices between the phone and its case. Similarly, phone bags come in various sizes and need to match the user’s phone and case size, often resulting in bags being either too small or too large, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, phone wipes may not be compatible with certain materials or finishes. The WynnShield™ is designed to address these concerns by being compatible with a wide range of mobile devices and their cases.
Ease of Use
Applying the WynnShield™ is simple and less time-consuming than regular cleaning.
Wrap It Up with WynnShield™
Competitive Advantages
The WynnShield™ provides several competitive advantages over alternative solutions like UV lights, phone wipes, phone bags, and zip lock bags.
The WynnShield™
- One Size fits most
- Bags without antimicrobial protection do not provide any continuous defense. Essentially, users are carrying around their dirty mobile devices in dirty plastic bags.
- Cleaning your device the wrong way can strip away protective coatings on your screen and do more harm than good. For example, paper towels can scratch your screen, vinegar can damage its coating.
- Cleaning with alcohol or chemical wipes are horrible for mobile device screens and can permanently damage them.
UV Light Wands Negatives
- According to the FDA, some UV wand products can emit up to 3,000 times more uv-c radiation than the recommended exposure limit when used from a distance of about two inches. Exposure to these devices can cause skin injuries like erythema, or burn-like reactions, and eye injuries like photokeratitis, which can cause severe pain and feeling of having sand in the eyes.
UV Light Boxes
- UV light does kill bacteria, but it works only by line of sight, affecting only areas the light can reach. It will not be effective for the cracks and crevices between the phone and case. Cycles for each side of your phone may be necessary, which means more time.
- UV light boxes will not physically remove things off your device like filth. They work by irradiating the bacteria.
Frequently Asked Question
- Compatibility with different devices.
- Longevity of antimicrobial protection.

How quickly does the Microban® technology work?
Microban® protection initiates upon contact with WynnShield's surface, immediately targeting microorganisms. This antimicrobial defense operates continuously, ensuring a cleaner device wrap compared to products lacking Microban antimicrobial protection.
Can the Antimicrobial agents be transferred to other surfaces?
No, it is non-migratory, which means the antimicrobial agents will not leave the film.
Can you use a WynnShield™ more than once?
WynnShields™ were created for extended single use.
Can I take pictures with WynnShield™ on?
Yes, you can take pictures with WynnShield™ applied. However, due to the film’s clarity, images may appear slightly distorted. We are actively working to improve this. For better clarity, simply pull down the WynnShield™ below the camera using the handling strip. After taking your pictures, lift the WynnShield™ back up and press it securely in place.
Can I wear my gloves and use my device?
Yes, the WynnShield is glove compatible.
Can I wipe off my device when the WynnShield™ is on?
Yes, cleaning agents and bleach will not impact antimicrobial performance. The antimicrobial additive is part of the film, not a coating that can rub off.
Will the WynnShield™ muffle sound if my speaker is positioned lower on the screen?
Yes, if the WynnShield™ covers the speaker directly, it may affect sound quality. For optimal performance, it’s important to ensure there’s space between the WynnShield™ and the speaker. We suggest leaving your phone case on, as this allows sound waves and vibrations to move more freely. When the case is on and the speaker is positioned near the top or bottom of the phone, the chance of interference is reduced.
Can I use speakerphone while using WynnShield™?
Yes, we recommend placing the handling strip where the speakerphone is located. When you’re ready to use the speakerphone, open the WynnShield™ on that end using the handling strip to allow sound waves to pass through freely for optimal performance. After you’re finished, simply seal the WynnShield™ back.
