Cyberclean Touch Screen Stylus and Cleaner Review

Cyberclean Touch Screen Stylus and Cleaner

Hiya gadgetaholics I have something for everyone who has a phone or tablet etc. I think that maybe most of the general population lol.

Be honest how often do you clean your phone or tablet screen and I don't mean a quick wipe with your sleeve or on your jeans or skirt...whose guilty of that...raise your hands now....oops....yep I'm definitely guilty of the quick jean leg clean..eeep!

 Think about it we take them everywhere with us, into the bathroom, we eat while using them; texting, emailing using social media we are never without our beloved devices. They then live in our bags or pockets against loose change and receipts; then we lay them on any surface, the kitchen worktop, table at the cafe or restaurant; then we pop them back into to a nice warm pocket or bag which germs thrive on! They are our daily companions wherever we go; BUT they can be breeding grounds for bacteria which can make us seriously ill.

YOU, YES YOU IM TALKING TO YOU!

WHEN DID YOU LAST CLEAN YOUR PHONE?

Whats lurking on your device or keyboard?

I was horrified to find from an article saying how our electronic devices, remote controls etc can have more bacteria than a toilet seat...eeep....ucky!

So how can we make our devices safer from these quite often dangerous invisible germs and bacteria? 

 In comes CyberClean who contacted me asking if I would like to share some antibacterial cleaning products with you all.

They kindly sent me two of their brand new cleaning products to show you.

 Cyberclean Touch Screen Stylus and Cleaner and 

the Keyboard/Remote cleaning compound.

Today I'm going to show your the Cyberclean Touch Screen Stylus and Cleaner which is a 3 in 1 device. This award winning cleaner is a handy stylus pen with a carbon tip and built in spray and cleaning mechanism; designed specifically for our smartphones and tablets. 

Read on to find out more.....and does it work.....?

 Packaging

Packaging

I really love the packaging design from CyberClean, Im a bit of a sucker for good packaging as I always feel if the company has spent time on that the product will be amazing.

The strong shiny textured cardboard box has an aluminum effect design saying cleanliness, I feel it will appeal more to the guys than the girls if you were to see this in a shop.

In the box you get;

• Cleaner/stylus.
• Clip to attach to tablet case.
• 3 spare refills.
• User leaflet.

Description

This clever "Award winning" 3 in 1 device is not only a handy stylus to use on our touchscreens but a screen cleaner too. It incorporates a nano spray system with an antiseptic solution built inside; plus a high performance absorbing fibre pad that wipes the screen clean.

 You have the choice of 2 colours black or white, I was sent the white.

 At one end you have a carbon tapered nib which sits in a stylish silver plastic holder.

A few of my Stylus's
I have quite a few stylus's in my collection now each with a different nib; but Ive never had a screen cleaner and stylus in one. Its also the largest and longest but with the thinnest nib.

The nib is slightly smaller than my other stylus's/stylii I have and slightly more pointier as you can see above. Ideal for more precision drawing etc.

 The other end is the nano spray system with an ergonomic curved top so your finger sits comfortably ontop to spray.

 This top simply pulls off to reveal a hollow inner chamber to replace the spray refill.

By the way you get 3 FREE refills with every pack!

 The whole unit is completely ergonomic with gently curved lines to sit comfortably in your hand while using either end.

 Along the whole length of one side is a highly absorbent soft fabric strip to wipe clean your screen.

With this pack you also get a clever tablet clip to attach to the screen stylus to your tablet case; what a great idea.
This clip will fit on cases upto 2mm thick only.

 Measurements

This stylus is 13.3cm x 1.8cm.

Use

Since reading that awful article about toilet seats that are cleaner than touchscreen devices Ive been quite paranoid about keeping my screens clean. Ive always hated finger marks so Im continually wiping my screens anyway, but hadn't really thought of bacteria crawling over them eep....I have now!

The spray stylus is such a fab idea to keep everything together. I only needed 1 spray on my Samsung S4 as the mist is extremely fine and covers the screen. 

Spray from approx 15 inches away to get full coverage.

 One light mist and one firm wipe across the screen is enough to clean the screen well; but you can go from side to side a few more times to bring up a gorgeous shiny screen.

 See how shiny my screen is after one clean.

 My Nexus 10 needed 2-3 light mists.

Then just several wipes straight across from left to right with the absorbent fabric side.

The only slight thing for me is the fact that after wiping my dirty screen I'm then holding the stylus with my finger touching the damp absorbent wiping pad with the dirt on it...? However the liquid spray is antibacterial so its killing any bacteria straight away "before" Im touching it...isn't it?

TIP; Most devices have invisible bezels, but some cases will recess your device making "the wipe" across a little awkward as you don't want moisture between device and case. Most tablets and smartphones however are larger screens and will easily fit the stylus.

Turn the spray head 180 degrees and it will lock to prevent any drips to pop in your bag.

The CyberClean Touchscreen stylus and cleaner or the "Space shuttle"?

Opinion

I found the idea of this Stylus cleaner just genius; the fact you can prevent the build up of bacteria and viruses from dirty, greasy fingerprints by using the stylus. Then clean your touch screen daily with the neat mist spray inside is just fantastic.

Keep your screens looking brand new and so much cleaner; preventing fingerprint and bacteria buildup. My screen is so much cleaner than its ever been as I don't have to think where I have put my cleaner and cloth; its all together. The shape is very ergonomic making it really comfortable to hold too; although your finger rests on the absorbent pad.
It will also fit into most bags and briefcases or use the handy tablet clip that comes with it. The stylus itself is very responsive and the pointier tip makes it ideal for precision drawing etc.

This makes an affordable gift for everyone. Who doesn't need an antibacterial screen cleaner and who doesn't want to have clean screens to protect yourself and your family? 

This really is a brilliant gift for everyone including yourself and an ideal stocking filler as its so affordable...shushhh...not really mentioning Christmas yet...!

Measurements

The headphone cups themselves are 5.5cm in diameter each.          

They are extremely lightweight but they have a high quality feel to them and the piano black gloss really adds an air of luxury. You can see from the image above and most of my images in this review how glossy they are by the cloud reflections on them as I shot them outside.
(I can assure you they are not fingerprints).

 The first headphone has the Kinivo logo printed on a silver band; the second headphone has all the buttons on....see below.

 Kinivo Logo

 This right-hand headphone has all your controls on, and the microphone.

• The central button turns the headphones on and off by holding for 4-5 seconds and you will see the LED turn blue and the same to turn off when you will see a red LED.
• The LED lets you know what the headphones are doing, blue for playing or just being on and red when charging. It will flash alternate blue and red while searching for Bluetooth. 
• The volume buttons are rocker switches for up an down.
• Then the arrows skip to next or previous song choice...simples!

All these buttons are easy to get too even while wearing them, its easy to get used to where they are without having to see them.

On the side of this headphone you have a neat little Micro USB charging port; covered by a small rubber dust flap that slots securely into place to protect from dust and damp.

 From here you can charge your headphones with the cable provided.

This takes approximately 2-3 hours for a full charge; of course when you first get your headphones charge for the full time of 3 hours to be sure. You can see here the LED glows red while charging.

 The underside has super soft black leatherette material for the ultimate in comfort.

 These have half a centimeter of plushiness and believe me they really are comfortable and sooo soft. I feel these will be hard wearing as they are well stitched and well padded .

The headband itself is made of a strong flexible plastic. They have a slight springyness to them to take the wear and tear of being pulled on and off the head.

 Each headphone is on a small plastic hinge to easily twist them round to sit comfortably onto your ears. I cant say at this time how hard wearing these hinges will be but they are absolutely fine at the moment and they've had alot of use.

Use

As soon as I got these I whacked them onto charge as I couldn't wait to try them, I love the design and the high quality feel and looked forward to hearing what they sounded like. A huge bonus is that they came half charged as I found the red LED turned off after only an hour, but as it was first time charge I continued to 3 hours to make sure.

Bluetooth

Next was to pair them to my Samsung S4 and again so simple to do; yes even for you non-techies out there; dont panic it is easy.

To Pair

• Press and hold the Middle multifunction button for longer than if you would to turn on approx 7-10 seconds or until the LED flashes between red and blue.
  TIP: Don't release when you see the blue LED keep holding till it changes to both.

• Go to settings on the device you wish to pair > Bluetooth > Search/Scan.

Im so impressed as my S4 found the headphones in literally seconds so fast.

Now your ready to Rock......

Kinivo headphones BRH240 paired on my S4

*Ive paired it on my S4 and my Nexus 10; plus Windows 7 with no problems at all.

Once connected to Bluetooth the headphones claim to have approximately 10 meters range...well I beg to differ as I found it makes 15 meters easily and has made up to 20 meters outside with nothing blocking its way.

I can even go downstairs and into a different room with only slight cutting out.

Obviously its better if your phone and you are in the same room you will get the best from your headphones.
Its so well padded I can even sit listening to music and the other person next to me a couple of feet away cannot hear anything.

Wear-ability

There is only 1 way round to wear these and that's with the loops sitting neatly over your ears and the main headphone sits on the right hand side, keeping the writing the right way up. The headband sits behind the head; perfect for those that do not like thick over the head headbands. The leatherette is so soft and the padded ear cup is super comfy with a good grip even while moving about the house, up and down stairs or working out they still stay on.

They maybe wouldn't stay on during a vigorous workout, but yoga, Pilates or using weights, I feel will be fine.

Sound Quality
The sound quality on these headphones is just fantastic; as it has a gorgeous overall sound range which is crystal clear. It has fabulous bass...woohoo with excellent mid ranges too. I'm no expert with sound but as Ive said before I know what I like and what I'm looking for personally.
The volume on these is something else as it goes up higher than I can stand and that says alot as I'm hard of hearing. This is so unusual with companies in our techie age who will often cap the volume to much lower on many devices.

Even though this pair of headphones does not have noise cancelling when listening to music; I can listen to Utube and videos at night right next to my other half and he cant hear anything and vice versa as I cant hear whats going on around me.
It does however have a noise cancelling microphone and it will pause your music when you have an incoming call so your free to chat hands-free and continue your workout or gardening etc.

The luxury looking pouch

Storage
These adorable headphones fold up to half their size to store easily into its own gorgeous velvet pouch so you can keep the manual and cables together.

It looks impressive getting them out of your bag infront of friends too...but beware people will want to borrow them due to their amazing expensive good-looks.

 I like to hang mine on my bag and you have to admit they look fab don't they.

Opinion
I would highly recommend these adorable headphones; they not only have amazing sound for their low-end price; but they look far more expensive than their £21.99....yes I did say £21.99...I simply cant believe they look and sound this good for the price.
These are an ideal affordable gift for someone who wants to keep a pair just for the gym or walking the dog etc; especially with the 10 hours of music or talk time.
They are wireless, rechargeable, lightweight, comfortable and look good with their elegant, modern design so everyone will want to borrow them.

Plus they fold up so small and fit neatly into the supplied black velvet pouch to keep in your bag.

With Christmas creeping up fast...eeep...they are ideal gifts for any music lover. Seriously what can you get for twenty-two quid these days.

Pro's

• Great design.
• Both wireless music headset and Bluetooth phone headset.
• Hands-free.
• Quick charge.
• 10 hour music/talk time.
• Pouch.

• None.
