Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a cooled wireless mobile device charger. As an example, a cooling enclosure is provided, comprising a cooling surface. The cooling enclosure may shield a mobile device therein from direct sunlight or other adverse conditions, thereby reducing the heat exposure of the device. The cooling surface may comprise a thermoelectric cooling element or any of a variety of other cooling means. Additionally, the cooling surface may be angled about a lateral axis to enable a user to more easily view at least a part of the mobile device (e.g., in a landscape or portrait orientation) while the device is in the cooling enclosure. In some instances, a detachable visor is provided that further shields the mobile device from sunlight. As another example, the visor may retract within the cooling enclosure.
