Charging Dock & case/pouch - Xperia Z Accessories

Just picked up Z tablet. I like th e idea of a charging dock that doesn't require me to open the usb door. Is the official Sony dock (SGPDS5) the best way to go?
Do any cases exist that are compatible with the charging dock? If there are none, can someone recommend a pouch or carrying case for the Z? Thanks in advance.

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

[Q] few questions about the magnetic charger

for those who have it and used it for long time..
1) is it charging faster/slower/same than regularly charging? (with the same charger of course)
2) is it actually comfortable? after trying it, do you actually use it daily and enjoy or its a gimmick only and you went back to the regular cable?
3) is it causing any damages? bugs? weird stuffs?
I'm Z owner (it doesn't compatible with magnets) and I'm considering to upgrade to z2/3/3c with mainly reason of the magnetic charging..
Some experience sharing would really help me out here.. YouTube is only for unboxing and showing it but no real tips from experienced users..
Thanks.
Bought the official Sony magnetic dock, a Chinese knock off one from Amazon, and a magnetic cable.
The cable is useless, the magnet hardly keeps the connection, and falls off at the slightest knock. That's thrown in my drawer at work.
The Amazon bought dock is decent. Came with two adapters, one for the Z3, one ( I assume) for the Z3 compact. Does the job, charges I would say slightly slower than the mains charger. You can't use a case with it, as its almost exactly the correct width of the phone.
The official Sony dock (DK48) is a little better quality plastic, although you don't get a USB cable with it. It comes with 4 adapters, 2 for the Z3 and 2 for the Z3 compact (for use with or without a case). It's easier to use a case with these adapters, but a chunky case like a Casemate Tough would have no chance of fitting. It seems to charge about the same rate as a normal wall charger would.
I use the docks all the time, and very rarely use the micro USB slot to charge. I have the Amazon dock at work and the Sony one at home.
I'd recommend a dock purely to stop the port flap working loose, like it did on my original Z, plus it stops your phone sliding around your desk!
The only drawback was the price of the Sony dock. It was £20 for a bit of plastic, a micro USB slot and a magnet. The Amazon one was less than half that price, and I got a USB cable with it!

Using Magnetor X cable for a while now. It saves alot of wear and tear on your USB. The magnetic field on phone gets worn a little, but thats it.
Charging time is about the same as regular USB.
Magnet is strong enough. Can be a bit fiddly connecting it and its a bit in the way and prone to get loose.
thank you both! really helpful
Magnetor X 2 adapter is fine for my use. Magnet is strong enough. Can be a fiddle to attach on occasion but usually it's fine. I use it on my desk at work and in the car.

Good qi charging receiver

I am looking for a qi wireless charging receiver that will plug into micro USB port. I have found a few for sale but would like comments on if they are any good. I am also hoping to find one that fits under my tpu case/cover and does not go up the back of the phone so far it covers the M. For some reason I like that M and made sure the case I got had the circle cut out for the M. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, I found this online: w`w.airyear.com/5v-1000ma-qi-wireless-charger-for-motorola-moto-x-black-p-164386.html?zenid=c9ccccd1bb9de4dd349c3469825cda01

Thanks.

SM-T590 (Tab A 2018) flip case that is compatible with Pogo charching dock?

I am looking for a flip case that would also be usable with the Pogo charging dock station:
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...axy-tab-s4-charging-dock-pogo-ee-d3100tbeguj/
As you can read from the dock reviews, it is not usable with the official Tab a cover which makes the dock kind a useless.
Atm I am using some random chinese cover with Tab A and it does not work either with the dock. The slit in the dock is so slim that the cover should be super slim when folded or something like that.
If anyone knows a cover that one doesn't need to be strip off the tab before entering the dock, pls let me know.
Every now and then I check what aliexpress has to offer but so far none of the cases seem to be compatible with a Pogo dock. Please post here if you find one.
Have the same tab with dock. So far no luck on finding a compatible case.

Question Car air vent magnetic charger for Flip 3

Been trying to research this with not a lot of luck so far.
Does anyone know of a magnetic charger (not the arm clamping ones) that fits on a car air vent and that can wirelessly charge the Flip 3 ?
I just bought one (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08RRY9211) but the magnet will not work with my flip 3. Was thinking of getting one of these (https://www.amazon.co.uk/ESR-HaloLock-MagSafe-Wireless-Charger/dp/B09BYRZFDR). Does anyone know if this will work ?
Failing that, can anyone recommend a good magnetic air vent wireless charger for the Flip 3. Preferably available in the UK.
Thanks in advance.
Just wanted to update this. The Magsafe ring works an absolute treat ! So I am very happy. Have also bought one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09Z24Y5S6 for the side-table next to where I watch TV.
The one thing that I am missing (magnetic-wise) is a magnetic 3-in-1 charger for the desk in my office. It need to have a magnetic upright charger as well as a charger for a Samsung Watch 4 and a charger for my Samsung Buds Pro. Think that I am really stretching what might be available, but thought that I would check here if anyone knew of such a thing.
Many thanks.
