The docking station is absolutely amazing and is actually the original in every way. For the money, especially! The magnet holds the mobile phone super and it is not an art to position the phone properly. However, I can not say anything about how it works, if you use a case for the phone. This, according to manufacturer also possible (the right holder for the docking station is included), but I have never tried this / needed. Only the weight and the gums are-depending on what the station underground steht- bit too weak, so the station including the phone easily slips. However, I have thus had no significant difficulties so far. But you should be careful. This also results in that you have to hold the dock if you want to take out the mobile phone. But that also there is no problem.
