Sounds like its simpler to just NOT LEND YOUR PHONE OUT.

Seriously, if you're worried about contact, then just say no. Because the germs will get inside your phone. In the speaker holes, the mic hole, the small gaps in the case.

Once inside they will wait, dormant, for just the right moment to slip out into your unsuspecting ear, eye, or mouth. Once that happens you are as good as dead.

Unless of course you were standing within 3-10' of the person you lent your phone to. In that cause, you already breathed in way more live crap they spewed out then the few remaining stragglers that didn't die within seconds of hitting your phone.

Seriously, the ONLY protection if you are truly worried is to not lend out your phone. Everything else is just making you feel better, not making you any safer.
