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.

Did a short Air Dock review - I got it for my GS5, but since Samsung is taking their sweet time releasing the wireless charging cover I had to test with the N7. Anyways, here it is for anyone interested:

Can you comment on how well it holds a phone while driving around? I would hate to take a turn and have it fly off out the window.

The magnets combined with the sticky surface of the charger makes it nearly impossible to fall off by accident. I think there is a better chance the entire mount will fall before the phone comes off due to a bump.

The dock comes with a single magnetic sticker, so I will need to wait until the wireless cover is released so I can place it on that. I used the N7 because it already has magnets integrated.

Yes, sorry - I thought you wanted to see it with magnets in use.

I am wondering how the charger performs when your phone is using bluetooth to stream music, GPS, WiFi, etc
Thanks for the video. I really appreciated.
after using the GS5 with just the sticky pad and no magnets, it's pretty clear that the magnets are required - it just doesn't hold that well after a few uses. They send a little magnet sticker that I put on the inside of the wireless charging cover (that I received today), and it works great.

Not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if you can split the sticker and use it on two devices? Then, no. If you're asking will the sticker fit either one device or the other? Then yes. I had to cut it to a smaller size to fit the inside cover of the GS5.

I believe he said that's not what he wants.
He wants the foil pad you attach to your phone then he can put his flip battery cover on.
Vs replace that with a charge back.
I had a pad on my Note 3. I'm willing to bet they will have then the beginning of next year.
You can always get a universal qi receiver. I've seen them on Amazon that plug into the micro USB port and sit underneath the back cover or between the phone and a case.

I've just seen a sleeve that will be out later this month:
http://www.amazon.com/Tablet-Sleeve...=UTF8&qid=1449678769&sr=1-11&keywords=pixel+c
I wouldn't mind a faux leather flip cover for times I know I will not be using the keyboard for a while.
I am looking for a leather case with kickstand function. Anyone seen anything?
I am looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle-Android-Samsung/dp/B00A9G985S/
With automatic sleep/wake-up function. I use very simillar case with Nexus 10 and I am very satisfied with that.
Anyone seen anything?
I think case manufacturers are going to be running into problems since the Pixel C uses a lot of magnets in the tablet chassis to attach it to the optional keyboard. Putting on a standard cover is going to negate this benefit I would imagine.
I'd like to get a sleeve, sort of like the one posted earlier, that will allow me to protect my Pixel C and keyboard when I throw in in a bag or backpack since I'm not sure how resistant the aluminum body will be towards scuffs and scratches.

I am THRILLED to be using again my Saddleback leather sleeve from my original iPad. Funny, only couple years ago the iPad came out but the Pixel C + keyboard are about the same thickness Tablet alone would be too loose. Not sure if they make it anymore, but maybe check ebay?

Based on the dimensions, should be a good fit. Comments mention a magnetic clasp which should work well! We'll see how it is for just $4.

The Nexus 9 smart cover was one of THE worst engineered covers I have every used! In other words, it was just a big piece of cr** and not worth the money. Let's hope they bring us something better.

Don't confuse it being a piece of crap to it not doing what you want it to. I was sceptical about it at first, but after a while it started to work extremely well for me and now I don't want anything else anymore!

The magnets in there are just to weak so it comes off the screen to easily (yes, I am using it on the correct side), or does not hold the tablet in place when used a a stand. That alone is a no-go for me.
Also, as a kickstand, depending on the position, it makes it very hard to access the volume- and powerbutton(s), or will accidentally press the buttons down sometimes. This is unacceptable.
Anyone have any input on this sleeve:

It's just what I was looking for, and I "think" the Pixel C should fit, but I figured I'd check here first to see if anyone had any experience with it. If nothing else, I'll bring my Pixel C up to the store to test it out and see if it will work.

So I went ahead and ran out to Staples again, this time with my Pixel C. They actually had a couple of different tablet cases/sleeves, but I ended up going with the one I posted above. Fits very well, and in fact the sleeve is actually a little bigger than needed (probably because the sleeve has a more traditional 16:9 ratio), so you could actually fit a few small things, such as papers, cables, etc., without hurting the slim design.
Now I might look into getting a case actually designed for the Pixel C once they start rolling out, but I"m very happy with this in the meantime, especially since Staples wanted to charge me $24.99 for it and I just had them price match Amazon's $10.97! :laugh:

I like that case, but I wish it had the cut out for the back cover lights. (battery level lights) I think they are a very nice aesthetic touch that should be visible.
I just cracked my screen, and ordered a replacement online. I saw tear down video online saying that I could use some simple sharp tool to open back cover, does the material itself is forgiving on prying? Anything I need to be careful when I open it?

I've watched those videos myself for when the day comes I need to put in a new battery. It looks pretty straight forward and easy from the videos I've watched. Just becareful not to break the clips that are holding the back on. I think the easiest route would be to use a Guitar pick.
Best advice though is just watch the videos over and over a few times to get the best way and idea possible
