Abstract

A stuffed animal cell phone charging device includes a cushioned main body having an internal rechargeable battery and a securing member for releasably holding a cell phone. The charging device may be adapted for wirelessly coupling with the cell phone for inductive charging or include at least one power plug adaptor for wired charging of the cell phone. An AC power plug in connection with the rechargeable battery recharges the rechargeable battery. The device includes speakers having wireless data exchange connectivity for wirelessly pairing with the cell phone to play music stored on a cell phone. Further embodiments of the charging device may include a pillow or other cushioned object. The device may include a handle or strap for carrying the device. The internal battery, speakers, power plug adaptors, audio connections and AC power plug may be removed so that the stuffed animal, or other cushioned object, may be washed.
