Wireless Charging Cases for Mobile Phones
15 patents in this list
Updated:
Modern wireless charging systems operate at efficiencies between 40-70% under ideal conditions, but real-world performance often falls below these levels due to misalignment, interference from case materials, and varying coil configurations. Device cases must balance electromagnetic permeability for charging with mechanical protection, while maintaining precise spacing between 5-15mm for optimal power transfer.
The fundamental challenge lies in designing cases that enhance wireless charging efficiency while meeting competing demands for durability, thermal management, and compatibility with mounting systems.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including optimized metal plate configurations, adaptive coil positioning mechanisms, integrated power management systems, and multi-functional charging architectures. These and other approaches focus on practical implementations that maximize charging performance while maintaining case functionality and user convenience.

The pouch can be quickly released to wirelessly charge the phone or mounted in a car holder.
5. Phone Case with Detachable Battery and Proximity-Activated Wireless Charging Coils
Dong In Kim, 2021
A phone case that adds wireless charging capability to smartphones. The case has a detachable battery pack with wireless charging coils. It also has an activation component that senses when a wireless charging pad is brought near the case and automatically starts wirelessly charging the phone.
6. Smartphone Case with Detachable Power Unit and Proximity-Activated Wireless Charging Mechanism
Dong In KIM, 2020
A smartphone case that can activate wireless charging when a wireless charging pad is brought close to the case. The case has an attachable/detachable power source unit with a coil to charge the phone battery wirelessly. The case also has an activation mechanism that recognizes when a compatible wireless charging pad is near and triggers the attached power source to charge the phone.
7. External Wireless Charging Case with Integrated Battery, Bidirectional Wireless Power Transmission, and Auxiliary Processing Unit
mophie inc., 2020
Extending battery life and functionality of smartphones and other mobile devices by providing an external wireless battery case/holster that can wirelessly charge the device and be charged wirelessly itself. The case has a built-in battery, wireless receiver, and transmitter to wireless power the device. It can be charged by wire or wirelessly. Charging the device and case from separate sources simultaneously speeds up charging. The case can also have processors to run apps, providing additional processing capabilities.
8. Bag with Integrated Rechargeable Battery, Device Hub, and Wireless Charging Module
Yung-Hao Liu, 2020
This is a multi-functional bag that integrates features to support and charge multiple electronic devices. It includes a built-in rechargeable battery, a hub to connect devices like laptops and phones, and a wireless power charging module. This allows the bag to provide power to devices without needing separate adapters or batteries. The bag can also store other items like documents.
9. Movable Attachment Apparatus with Rotatable Elongated Body for Unobstructed Wireless Charging
ESI Cases & Accessories, 2020
A movable attachment apparatus for holding a portable electronic device like a phone that facilitates wireless charging without obstructing the charging coils. The apparatus has two attachment portions that can be attached to different locations on the device back. These are connected by a rotatable elongated body. When one attachment point is fixed, and the other is detached, the body can rotate to move the holder out of the way for wireless charging.
10. Metal Plate for Phone Case with Rounded Concave Edge to Avoid Wireless Charging Coil Overlap
SPIGEN KOREA CO., LTD., 2020
A metal plate design for a phone case allows magnetic mounting while avoiding interference with wireless charging. The plate has a rounded concave edge that does not overlap the phone's wireless charging coil area. This allows the phone case to attach magnetically to a mount while still enabling wireless charging.
11. Metal Plate for Phone Case with Rounded Concave Edge for Wireless Charging and Magnetic Mounting
SPIGEN KOREA CO., LTD., 2019
A metal plate design for a phone case that allows both wireless charging and magnetic mounting. The metal plate has a rounded concave edge so it doesn't block the charging coil. The rounded edge, which is symmetrical with the coil's inner and outer circles, allows wireless charging while still enabling magnetic mounting to a support with a magnet. The rounded edge prevents the metal plate from overlapping and obstructing the coil, while still allowing magnetic attraction between the plate and an external magnet.
12. Bag with Integrated Multi-Source Charging System and Multiple Device Connectivity
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P., 2019
Smart bag with integrated charging capabilities to charge multiple devices while on the go. The bag has built-in power sources like a cord, solar panel, and battery pack. Devices can connect to the bag via USB, induction, or wirelessly to charge.
