## Abstract

A portable electronic device charger system includes (I) a portable electronic device charger assembly including (A) at least one device bay including (i) a floor including an electrical interface; (ii) a first wall extending perpendicularly from the floor; (II) a portable electronic device case assembly; and (III) an electrical power coupler removably electrically couplable to the interface, and removably couplable to the first wall, and removably couplable to the portable electronic device case assembly. Other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A portable electronic device charger system for charging a plurality of portable electronic devices including first portable electronic devices being of different sizes, the system comprising:
(I) a portable electronic device charger assembly including
(A) at least one device bay including
(i) a floor including an electrical interface,
(ii) a first wall extending from the floor, and
(iii) a second wall extending from the floor, the second wall spaced across the floor from the first wall, and oppositely facing the first wall;
(II) at least one portable electronic device case assembly including
(A) a base,
(B) a periphery having four sides extending from the base, and
(C) a power docking bay positioned on a portion of one of the four sides; and
(III) at least one electrical power coupler,
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably electrically couplable to the at least one portable electronic device,
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably electrically couplable to the interface of the floor of the at least one device bay of the portable electronic device charger,
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably couplable to the first wall of the at least one device bay of the portable electronic device charger, and
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably couplable to the at least one portable electronic device case assembly,
wherein the first wall includes an elongated protrusion removably couplable with the electrical power coupler.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1,
wherein the electrical power coupler includes an engagement notch removable couplable with the elongated protrusion of the first wall.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1,
wherein the first wall has first and second edges, and
wherein the elongated protrusion is located midway between the first and second edges.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1,
wherein the elongated protrusion extends vertically,
wherein the elongated protrusion includes a tapered shape, and
wherein portions of the elongated protrusion closer to the floor are wider than portions of the elongated protrusion farther from the floor.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4,
wherein the electrical power coupler has an engagement notch shaped to removably couple with the tapered shape of the elongated protrusion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1,
wherein the elongated protrusion is positioned in a central location on the first wall relative to the electrical interface on the floor.

### Claim 7

A portable electronic device charger system for charging a plurality of portable electronic devices including first portable electronic devices being of different sizes, the system comprising:
(I) a portable electronic device charger assembly including
(A) at least one device bay including
(i) a floor including an electrical interface,
(ii) a first wall extending from the floor, and
(iii) a second wall extending from the floor, the second wall spaced across the floor from the first wall, and oppositely facing the first wall:
(II) at least one portable electronic device case assembly including
(A) a base,
(B) a periphery having four sides extending from the base, and
(C) a power docking bay positioned on a portion of one of the four sides; and
(III) at least one electrical power coupler,
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably electrically couplable to the at least one portable electronic device,
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably electrically couplable to the interface of the floor of the at least one device bay of the portable electronic device charger,
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably couplable to the first wall of the at least one device bay of the portable electronic device charger, and
wherein the at least one electrical power coupler is removably couplable to the at least one portable electronic device case assembly,
wherein a first of the sides of the at least one portable electronic device case includes an aperture,
wherein the electrical power coupler includes a coupler plug including specifications for portable electronic device coupling, and
wherein the coupler plug at least partially extends through the aperture when the electrical power coupler is coupled with the at least one portable electronic device case,
wherein the aperture of the first side includes first and second elongated side wall apertures,
wherein the electrical power coupler includes first and second engagement pins, and
wherein the first and second engagement pins are coupled with the first and second elongated side wall apertures when the electrical power coupler is coupled with the at least one portable electronic device case.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7,
wherein the first and second engagement pins are rectangular in shape.
