Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to an apparatus comprising a housing having a substantially rectangular shape and including a top side, a bottom side, and a slot that passes from the top side to the bottom side of the housing to secure a mobile input device in an upright configuration. The apparatus further includes an energy storage device disposed within the housing to charge the mobile input device. The energy storage device may charge the mobile input device by inductive charging or hardwire (e.g., via a retractable cable). The slot can include a coating or covering to increase a coefficient between the slot and the mobile input device. The slot can be disposed in the long end of the housing and can support the mobile input device in either a portrait or landscape upright configuration, from either the top end or the bottom end.
