the problem is: does aluminum scratches the phone?

it does not look like it has the cut out for the pogo pins ,so that would be useless

I have the dock (was in the box in Japan) and have been looking around for a case compatible with it.
The truth is that even 0.35mm thick cases are not compatible.
I am of course talking about cases that covers the sides and back of the phone.
Cases of this thickness have been tested and reported as non-compatible by Japanese users. They still require to push very hard on the phone to fit into the dock and it is hard to take it out after that.

I've also got a brodit car holder that uses the pogo pins.
So for me its even worse, not only does the case have to fit with the dock, but also the car holder.
And all these superthin cases are not cheap, don't want to drop 30 bucks USD on an experiment.

Case compatible dock
I just came across a dock on Ebay UK that has a removable section to allow the extra width needed for case's.
Ive ordered it so will report back when it arrives, from Hong Kong so may not be quick.
Excellent idea tho, something Sony should pick-up on maybe.

Wow, nice, have got an link for us?

Looks awesome, but do the ...prongs reach the phone thru the case? All my googling found nothing on this particular on this dock. Can't wait for the link, as well.

Cant post links yet, search eBay UK for "xperia z case dock" it'll be about 3 down

So I'm sure some of us have seen the aluminum cases/bumpers for the Z. Well, this is the first time I've seen one with the docking port (or whatever) exposed.

Except that I don't want gold, and rather'd have the bumper, not the case, this looks promising.

Thats weird...the other colors have theirs blocked off. Even though it has the holes in them, question is will it still fit the dock?

Exactly. I think I'll see if I can contact them to find if they have others like the gold one (maybe w/o the back). And, if anything, the aluminum bumper/case might fit into the expandable dock, mentioned on here, earlier.

Expandable dock won't be shipped to the Netherlands

Dock arrived this morning, and looks pretty impressive.
Dimesionally, it is exactly the same as the DK26 dock from Sony, the removable sleeve (to allow extra thickness for cases) is approx 1mm+ thick and very nicely
built into the unit - and easy to remove.
The charging pins are more than long enough to cope with a case as they are spring loaded.
Also, this dock also allows for charging from my laptop (DK26 does not work from a USB) which is handy.
TBH for the price difference - 6.99 compared with 25.00 for the DK26, and the abilty to charge from pc, and use with a case ......its a no brainer really.
Only critisism i can make really, is the springy prongs (Not the charger ones) that hold the phone are a little stiff, which may case problems with gel cases etc. that will try to drag rather than push. Although these will probably free up more with use.
overall, for seven quid, you cant go wrong.
I also own the DK26 and thouroughly wish id of seen this first.
EDIT:
Just took it apart and pulled out the springs, now its smooth as. A highly recommended mod.
Phone now just drops into place nicely, regardless of case.

The bumper cases still wont fit, it has to be a thin profile case.
Removing the insert only gives you just over 1.5mm of clearance, so cases still need to be thin as can be. But there are quite a few out there with the slot for dock pins.

Wireless charging and cases

I've noticed that in order to enable wireless charging for the S4 you have to replace the back cover with the one in the kit, but then that means you can't use a case like the S-View etc as they also need their own back cover. Has there been any word on wireless charging enabled versions of the S-view or normal flip cover?

I'd like to know so for the S-View too. Thanks.

I know it makes your phone thicker, I'm not sure any cases will work with the back cover.
Is the wireless back cover even available to purchase yet? I want one ASAP. I read somewhere its release was pushed back...anybody know anything?

Get something like this
Wireless charging insert
Just match up the copper to the pins and and use copper tape. Any standard case will fit.

Do those wireless inserts really work?

It does not. it has no induction coil, no power contacts.

Found one insert that will be shipping shortly to work with any Galaxy S4 back cover
(They have a Galaxy S III version as well if interested)
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/wiqiqi-wireless-charger-kit-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-or-s3-ultra-thin-light
I will definitely be picking this up for the fact that it's not a mod but an official design for the S4 and you can use any back cover with it (avoiding the thicker official wireless charging back cover as well). :good:

That's awesome! I wanna get 1 as well while living outside US.

If only Samsung didn't offer awesome items then completely let us down everytime. Either way I need something QI soon to go with my Nexus QI charger.

I can confirm it definitely does not. The S view case is really poor IMO, sent mine back for a refund straight away.
One other potential problem I've been thinking about, if you want wireless charging I'm presuming that you won't be able to put an extra case on your phone as that would act like a barrier? That's a shame.

I think the Qi charging works through a lot of cases.
I'm curious to hear if anyone gets an insert to work with the stock back cover. There seems to be much less space under the cover in comparison to the S3 so I'd be surprised if any of the inserts will be thin enough to fit.

Hi all,
Anyone know of a charging dock for the S4 that can be used whilst the phone is inside a Spigen Neo Hybrid case??

I also ordered this as I note the Neo Hybrid case refuses to work with many micro usb cables. (Works with nexus 4 stock cable, nexus 7 stock cable, samsung cable obviously). Did not work on my portable charger (anker slim2).
I'm hoping it works through the wireless charger which I'm sure it will since my Nexus 4 works fine through a tpu and pc case

These wireless ones are nice and they look good too lol... If there is no sensibly priced dock then I might wait and get the charging pad when the price comes down a bit

I have that same dock . Any luck finding a case that works?

Well. I think I could have made it work BUT the piece that usb connector is in isnt very strong. I went to put the phone in it and it broke and fell into the housing.
Knowing this now, If the front lip of 5he charger was removed it would fit.
Like I said tho, the flip up usb connector isnt strong at all. Its not like I forced it in.
Needless to say, its being sent out today.

Sorry to bring this off topic but my question is regarding the S4 with the AnkerSlim 2 battery pack.
I'm thinking about getting the Anker Slim 2 as an external battery. Do you think I could mod the micro USB with an exacto knife to fit into the Neo Hybrid case (like the one I did to in the picture)?
Trying to decide between the Anker Slim2 as an external battery pack and extra batteries to swap out. I'm pretty content with the Neo Hybrid case so will be leaving that on.

Any updates to which, if any, docks work with the neo hybrid?

I just ordered the KiDiGi from amazon. I'll see how it performs with the Spiegen Neo.

base received. the phone in the hybrid neo case does fit, however the micro usb plug in the base is not long enough. the phone does not charge.
To reiterate, KiDiGi Cover mate cradle charging and sync does not work with Spiegen Neo Hybrid case.

Dock + Case/Bumper

Hello,
First, I'm sorry if this was discussed in details somewhere. I have read a lot of threads in accessories these last days. Even though some threads were about this subject (example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176767, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200760), I haven't found the answer to my question. Moderators, feel free to move the thread, sorry if you have to.
To the point:
Basically my question is : Do we really have to choose between the dock and case/bumber? I would really love to be able to use both for obvious reasons (wireless charging and protection). I have found some cases that are supposed to fit the official dock, but according to users' reviews they are really bad and fragile (in addition to be ugly) : http://shop.brando.com/Simplism-Ultra-Thin-Cover-Set-for-Sony-Xperia-Z_p08858c1512d004.html or really bulky : http://shop.brando.com/Simplism-Flip-Note-Style-for-Sony-Xperia-Z_p8857c304d4.html
I would like to have something like the aluminium bumper : http://shop.brando.com/Sony-Xperia-Z-Metallic-Bumper_p8856c304d4.html
But with a charging pins cutout and a dock suitable for such a built. Probably a 3rd party kit : bumper + suitable dock sold with it.
Have anyone found something like this? Let's say no matter the price? Or some DIY is the only way so far? Would be really strange that no one on the market have thought about it...
Thanks!

I think the only way is to modify the dock(DK26) to fit aftermarket cases. Or make yourself your own.

I am using the DK26 dock and the Simplism cover with the Spigen glass T slim.
The way I worked it was to cut out from the back of the dock the 2 plastic arms that hold your phone in place when you dock it. this gives me a little more space and now the simplism cover and phone dock. its still tight but heck, it works.

I would bet more on first one than last one. Not because of price, but because it is thinnest. But still I think it will be not enough thin for dock. The thinnest case (simplism) is 0.35mm and by reviews it goes in dock in milimeters, I just wish to get one of the cases that are able to use with dock (even I have aftermarket dock) as it is annoying to put imak case everytime off the phone, when I need to charge it. So please, report us what was the results )

@magikmichael
Ok, I`ve got reply from seller on ebay
thanks for your inquiry.
at usually. it can use this case with charging dock station for Xperia Z
pls don't worry,if not ,we can do the full refund to you
any questions,pls contact us

If no one used these, atleast please let me know where i can get a good magnetic charger in india.

I am also looking for a magnetic charger, let me know if you find anything, I ordered the cheapest on ebay already, it was like 350INR, but I will get something better too.

Hi! @jassalmithu @xtremegiri
I have 4 magnetic chargers as I don't like to open the flaps for charging with the micro usb.
1. Official sony dock charger http://goo.gl/y5og7B
2. Ebay india magnetic charger http://goo.gl/1jluTs its a nice one but magnet is not so strong but better than chinese and I use this in my card for emergency charging or while I am travelling.
3. Some ebay.com Chinese charger http://goo.gl/uNmuvr & http://goo.gl/lCicLY same problem as the Indian ebay one it just fall off so easily you can't rely on it.
But the best one is the sony's official magnetic dock charger which I am using on daily basis, but this charger also have some fitting problems with different cases so you have to custom fit it.
Now I will be buying this http://goo.gl/iZV5FR as I have checked reviews, they say its the best with strong magnet so it wont fall of while charging but it costs almost rupee 1500 with shipping, so still thinking about it.
The chargers which are mentioned by @xtremegiri are almost same as the one I bought from ebay.in
Hope this helps who are confused with magnetic chargers

@xtremegiri @sanros The charger from eBay works but charges really slow, I was looking for one with strong magnets but you wouldn't get one as the magnet in the body is not pay off the phone chassis and can come out with strong magnets comprising water proofing, I got the dock and took out the cable from the dock, I might get another official dock soon, stay away from third party cables, they don't work well, I also ordered the connector which converts regular micro USB to magnetic connector, will let you guys know when I get it

That's what i was saying, you can take the cable out from Sony dock, i know it's expensive but that's the only way of getting the official Sony cable. The dock is just the regular magnetic cable inside the dock.

I got 2 from ebay - http://www.ebay.in/itm/201295121918?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and quite happy with those those. The magnet is quite strong and doesn't fall off easily. ......I hope it stays this way.
Also it charges upto 100% no issues
