The housing of the charging station is also from the same dark black plastic as the telephone. Although the looks chic when it is clean, but that it remains in use not long (after each call one feels compelled to clean the handset). In addition, the plastic is just also very dark. This has one drawback: With us the charging station is in a dark corner and you have a hard time seeing where they have to put the phone in the cradle. I have therefore already placed a small white sticker (the case is put behind this phone will disappear), so I can see immediately where there is the trough for the phone.
Basically, the phone is highly recommended.
