MMA fighters and the items they carry on a daily basis are constantly exposed to things like staph, MRSA, and ringworm. Understanding the typical training facility protocol of mopping the mats, and getting changed in a locker room, the inventors of goze realized there was a vital step missing to keep the bacteria off of the athletes themselves and the items they carry. Shoes, shorts, gloves, mouthpieces, cups, anything used on the mat or in the ring goes home in a gym bag and can be cleaned. Fighters cell phones are the only thing used both at home and while training. They are the also the only thing they use that can’t be steamed or washed or bleached. Enter goze a self-cleaning, anti-microbial phone case that actually kills any and all microbes it comes into contact with.
The Benefits of goze Antimicrobial Phone Cases for MMA Athletes
Recently, Goze has been getting a lot of attention from the MMA and NFL communities, in addition to hospitals and healthcare workers. Everyone needs to protect their phones from what you and it touches at the gym, training facility, plane, doctor’s office, hospital, hotel or bathroom. The idea for goze came during a long hospital stay and was initially intended to for the hospital worker, but it is helpful for anyone that carries a device and deals with blood, saliva, fluids, and germs.
“Fighters are constantly using their phones during training: change playlists, snapchat a submission they just learned, film tutorials and testimonials, send out motivational videos, and more. Phones and electronics are in the gym as much as the fighter is. Exposure to things like staph in a training facility is a common issue, and a cell phone is an easy breeding ground for all sorts of gnarly stuff,” says Philip Caban, inventor of goze. “We thoroughly tested our goze cases against staph specifically. We kicked staph’s ass!”
Goze is resonating with professional MMA fighters including Chris Camozzi, Brian Camozzi, and other EPU Collective athletes as well as EPU Collective CEO Shane Carwin. Upcoming RFA 43 Main Event competitor Brian Camozzi has taken a particular interest during this fight camp, “We all use tons of products every day to ensure we don’t get staph. Anyone who’s been around the gym knows how nasty it can be and how active you need to be preventing it. I’m not sure why we never thought of our phones. I got the goze Theater style case too, so we can watch videos during training and not have to worry about all the amounts of sweat that could get on it.”
As an added bonus the case is designed to amplify the smart phone’s speaker sound up to 250% louder. Fighters can listen to their training playlist or facetime at 2.5x the volume. Goze cases have been drop tested to military standards and the sound chamber provides great protection from the everyday bumps and drops.
Cases available for both Apple and Samsung model smart phones. Choose from Slim, Theater or Original style cases in: red, light blue, green, dark blue, black.
