There is disclosed a sleeve (10) for holding a portable electronic device (20) such as an MP3 player, mobile telephone, PDA and the like. The sleeve (10) is provided with an integrally formed secondary winding that enables the sleeve to pick up magnetic flux from an inductive charging platform (30) and associated circuitry for generating a DC charging voltage that can be used to charge a battery in the device while the device is received within the sleeve. The sleeve (10) is formed with a connector designed to fit a power/data connection socket in the device (20), and may also be provided with a connection port enabling the device (20) to be connected to a computer while it is received within the sleeve (10). |
