The charging cable fits the Z3 without problems. The magnet holds the connections well on the contacts, so that you, the phone also (With caution) can use. I have my Xperia in a sheath and the cable can still use the shell as there has recesses So it is also slim enough. It's something fümmelig it to get exactly on the contacts but with a little practice goes after a short time quite well. In any case better than ever to open the USB door.
