The concept is nice. I set a personal photo slideshow during charging and my phone into digital photo frame. One downside though: Yet I opted for the Sony model rather than a brand adaptable and I still had a problem: I was forced to cut the hull of my phone (Sony Z Ultra) so that the plug phone connects perfectly to the base. Although the cut shell does not cause harm, it is unfortunate to have to make adjustments even with the Sony brand base ...
