Sony DK31 Magnetic Docking Station for Sony Xperia Z1 (Accessory)

Customer Review

The station is tiny, very light plastic without stabilization weight, with a non-detachable cable, 2 "adapters" supposedly of different widths to accommodate the protective shells, but in fact almost identical. Not possible to use it with a shell, even very fine such as Krusell (I own), unless forced, but in this case it will be difficult to establish a good contact with the magnetic part load.

The USB cable is quite short and not detachable for use with an AC adapter (not included) only to the table edge with a socket vertically.

The station is very light and smooth plastic with no grip, without skates, it's very annoying to have to hold when the phone is laid bare top. So I applied the paste to fix UHU below, it works fine, but it inevitably leave traces.

When I see the price of 39 proposed by Sony, it's great no matter what. Even the price (much lower) on Amazon.com is questionable, given the very poor quality of the product and its design lamentable. It is a base for 50 cents for a phone to 500 euros.
