I got myself the docking station because I was able to place the smartphone Comfortable on the desk. I have the headphone output connected to my computer which I can perceive incoming calls better when I work focuses. Cool gimmick (which I did not know before) is that the smartphone when docking acts like a clock with weather display. The Dock is precisely, on the underbody rubberized and the Smart is held securely. All in all very nice good part, original Sony Dock. Highly Recommended.
