Abstract
This present invention pertains to a method and apparatus to take a consumer grade mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computer with or without a desktop mode and use a protective mobile device case optimized for temperature regulation and heat transfer and couple them to a vehicle or a cart based dock capable of maintaining mobile device operating temperatures when exposed to extreme high or low temperatures seasonally. A temperature control monitors thermally sensitive internal component temperatures within the mobile device and triggers heating or cooling based on preset temperature thresholds designed to protect those components.
