Disclosed is an inductive charging system for a portable electronic device, the system incorporating at least one induction coil and having a receiving face for the application of the device including a receiving coil positioned on the receiving face in electromagnetic contact with the induction coil. The receiving face includes multiple series of tabs defining at least discontinuously a perimeter corresponding to the device, the tabs of each series projecting from the receiving face in a first position being movable from the first position to a second position in which each tab is retracted into the receiving face under an application of a force corresponding to that exerted on this tab by the device when applied against the receiving face.
