After a long search and compare the product reviews from other customers I have taken off the purchase of a docking station for my Z1 distance (prices between approximately 10.00 and 65.00). This was due to the thought-provoking, justified negative reviews. This magnetic charging cable fulfills the same purpose as the Staionen, only simpler and more reliable and at a reasonable price. It is also handy. The charging time to 40% of my empty battery to 100% is less than 2 hours, the built-in LED from red (still loading) to blue (battery full) is helpful. Since I usually boot my phone overnight, I need no holder to read, operate or play with it. And that a magnetic connection does not hold very firmly, if the phone is used, therefore, is beside the point for me. A good alternative to USB charging connector, which you have to always open the jack cover (which supposedly has not so much).
