Many cases for the Z1 cover the lateral connection for the magnetic charging plug so that you always have to remove the cover, or at least use the USB port, because this is often left empty. Who has made clever knows that the small rubber seals to the USB port almost daily open not like love, and the tightness suffers. So rather just take a case that free access to the magnetic connection guaranteed. And that's what the Case-Mate Barely There case. It covers the back (without the camera of course) and the corners and edges - with the exception of bodies which must remain accessible. The fit is excellent, the rubberized material is safe in the hand and finger marks can be seen none. The low thickness ("Barely There" just) carries the Case also not too much. However, the Z1 unerfreulicherweise does not fit with this case spontaneously in the Sony DK31 Dock for Xperia Z1. Besides modifying the charging cradle with the wider recess by file or by cutter until you fit the two Knubbel on the front piece by piece away or equal builds the complete charging cable. (On the bottom has the docking station two small screws under the sticker in the rear corners. Solving this and levers from the bottom plate, the cable can be quite easy to remove, and as easily installed into the dock again if necessary. If an original charging cable by Sony wants, unfortunately, has no other option, and a cheap Chinese copy I wanted my 500, -. not load mobile)
