Abstract

Charging cell-phone case comprising a case having a receiving section for receiving a cell phone, an electrical male member that mates with the female charging portion of the cell-phone, circuitry to convert the input AC power to the desired DC output, and a foldable recessed plug for mating with a AC outlet.

Claims

1. A cell-phone case comprising:

a body having a recessed area dimensioned to receive a cell phone;

a male plug member dimensioned to be received within and in electrical communication with the female power plug portion of a cell phone; and

a power plug for electrical communication with a power source, wherein said power plug is in electrical communication with said male plug member.

2. The cell-phone case of claim 1, wherein said power plug is a standard AC 2-prong plug.

3. The cell-phone case of claim 1, further comprising means for converting AC power to DC power.

4. The cell-phone case of claim 3, wherein said means for converting is an AC/DC adapter circuit.

5. The cell-phone case of claim 1, wherein said power plug is a standard automobile cigarette lighter plug.

6. The cell-phone case of claim 1, wherein said power plug is pivotably mounted to said body.

7. A cell-phone case comprising:

a body having a recessed area dimensioned to receive a cell phone;

a male plug member dimensioned to be received within and in electrical communication with the female power plug portion of a cell phone; and

an AC power plug for electrical communication with a power source, wherein said AC power plug is in electrical communication with said male plug member.

8. The cell-phone case of claim 7, further comprising means for converting AC power to DC power.

9. The cell-phone case of claim 8, wherein said means for converting is an AC/DC adapter circuit.

10. The cell-phone case of claim 7, wherein said power plug is pivotably mounted to said body.

11. A cell-phone case comprising:

a body having a recessed area dimensioned to receive a cell phone;

a male plug member dimensioned to be received within and in electrical communication with the female power plug portion of a cell phone;

means for converting AC power to DC power; and

an AC power plug for electrical communication with a power source, wherein said AC power plug is in electrical communication with said male plug member.

12. The cell-phone case of claim 11, wherein said means for converting is an AC/DC adapter circuit.

13. The cell-phone case of claim 11, wherein said power plug is pivotably mounted to said body.
