Abstract
A protective case for a portable electronic device includes a shell, an aperture, an internal electrical connector, a rechargeable battery, docking receptacles, and an external electrical connector. The shell receives at least a portion of the portable electronic device while the aperture provides access to a user interface of the installed portable electronic device. The internal electrical connector electrically interfaces with the installed portable electronic device. The docking receptacles provide docking locations for removably stowing wireless earbuds when the earbuds are not in use. Each docking receptacle includes an electrical interface for electrically interfacing the rechargeable battery of the protective case to the wireless earbuds for recharging. The external electrical connector receives electrical power from an external power source for recharging the rechargeable battery of the protective case.
