Just bought desktop cradle with some other accessories bundle at ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151123238
I think this is a pretty good deal.
i see from brando.com having also some nice deaktop cradle but then its pretty expensive IMO
Thanks for the link, is there any charger that will charge with the silicon case still on?

For UK buyers there's MobileFun.
They sell both types which are the correct one's for the Touch HD (not the badly fitted one's that you can find elsewhere).
See here for the cheaper HTC Touch Desktop CHarging Cradle.
See here for the dearer Deluxe HTC Touch HD Desktop Charging Cradle.
I have both.
Note: Both are much cheaper than Expansys.

my desktop cradle from ebay finally arrive today in a nice small box.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151123238
You may want to see the items bundle with the purchase.
i tested immediately by charging the battery and syncing the touch HD without any delay. I would say the cradle is nicely built. I tested the cradle by putting my touch HD in the silicon case and plug it in and it still fit nicely into the cradle and syncing as well. (I need some additional force to push it in due to the thickness of the silicon i have) But it will be effortless for me to sync the HD if i remove the silicon case.
No regrets buying the cradle. The only useless thing i feel is the pouch that came with it. Its simply too tight, Must tighter than the original touch HD pouch. I have a problem pushing the phone into it.
But in anyway the cradle is great!
Thanks for the feedback, are you using the grey transparent silicon case from ebay?

no... i didnt got my silicon case from ebay. i got it locally. Its a clear type transparent silicon .
I had another leather pouch which i also switches around to use....
Can you plug in a standard adapter into the cradle? It looks like it uses a UK adapter to another adapter for that cradle..
What is the battery like that comes with it too? It seems quite a cheap price

As for the adapter, I did not use the one that is provided. I uses my old dopod 900 charging adapter instead. Its the same voltage and also uses USB.
The battery is 1350mAh. So far been using it on my phone and so far so good.
There's a coincidence - I ordered the exact same thing a week or so ago. Waiting on delivery at the moment, but I'm happy to see that there's another user that thinks it was worth it.
Could Anyone advise a model with audio out ?
thanks !

Hello,
could somebody please name the manufacturer of this cradle? I'm from Germany and I would be pleased not having to buy it from the UK. I didn't find anything similar in german shops yet.

I have both this case and the Deluxe one manufactured by Kidigi.com.
I can say that the case you mention does not have a manufacturers name, only HTC Touch HD.
I can say though that both cases are excellent.
i know its slightly off topic, but are the spare batteries sold on ebay with the cradles any good.. how long do they hold their charge?

Did you not read my post only two posts above yours?
Looks like Sony once again bring out a charging dock tailored for the new flag ship named DK36
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/magnetic-charging-dock-dk36/
I wonder if we removed the cable from the DK31 dock it will fit the magnetic ports on the Z2?
This is the first design flaw I've spotted with the Z2. The dock actually blocks a little part of the screen. The dock makes it a very good mini television and this kind of ruins it. Hope this isn't the case and this isn't the final product.
I emailed Sony about the dock, they say that the z1 dock will not work on the z2. I assume they mean that the pins won't align

I see Clove Technology already have this in stock.

It seems the thickness of two phone is different that why the z1 dock will not work on the z2.
I found some magnetic chargers sold on line are compatible with Z1, Z1C and Z2.

I don't see that problem at all. Right now, My Z2 is sitting in the charging dock and the lip is a fraction below the margin of the bezel leaving the entire screen visable.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up.
Generic Dock from Amazon
I bought this generic one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JE81AJE
Works perfectly and even has a different width receiver for when you fit a case on to the Z2 and it's half the price. Recommended :good:
I've sent mine back to Amazon, the dock charger only works when plugged into the wall socket, it doesn't charge the phone (or provide any connection whatsoever) when plugged into a USB port. Maybe it's obvious for everyone else, but it wasn't for me.
Also, this 30 euro accessory is just a small piece of plastic, you don't even get a USB cable in the package. Sony is charging way too much for this.
I'm now hoping for a third-party dock that will be able to connect and charge via USB.
I can't use either of my cases with the dock. So had to order the official Sony case (through I hate cases like that). Gutted that I can't use a thin gel case on it, in the dock!

anyone know if the dock for z2 work for z2 tablet or vice versa? The few posts above seem a little confusing to understand

Does the SCR10 case fit the dock? I know it should because they are both officially from Sony, but it seems a bit weird to fit it.
I have the SCR10 and wondering to buy the DK36, but I don't want it if I have to take of the cover.

Yup. It does fit without problems.
Are there any 3rd party cases that fit? I really hate cases like the official Sony one, but have ordered it purely to protect the device, even though I hate the style. Every gel case I have purchased from eBay or Amazon does not fit...

This is exactly the same with the dock from the Xperia Z - completely overpriced and they don't advertise that it must use a high-current charger, 500mA from a USB port won't work.
At least they should include a power adapter + cable. The dock has to contain about $1 worth of materials, if even that.

I charged my Z from a USB on the PC in the dock all the time. Just my experience.
Agree the dock is wildly overpriced

Thought it would be nice to post here as well. Not sure if you're aware of this: Anyone thinking about cases and the dock, it has a removable part that, when removed, lets you insert the phone with many kinds of cases.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK36-Charging-Dock-Smartphone/dp/B00HWUQEZQ/ref=pd_cp_computers_0
Here you can see the "seamline" which is the removable part. It is also stated in the description. Just to let you know in case you didn't already.
Brilliant invention!!!
When i was searching for a magnetic dock on ebay i bumped into to this magnificent adapter for our xperias!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-t..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item4d1bec8893
That's one hell of a solution for charging with cases on! I'm definitely ordering one!
Anyone tried it?

I can assure you it does not go into the dock if you wanted that. And there are full length cables that do the same thing (at least I think the magnetic charging cables fit with a case), saves the hassle of an adapter. If you can justify getting it, then nice find mate.
I have found it very convenient to use a bumper case/neoprene sleeve combo with all of my previous phones (most recently the Oneplus One) , but I have looked and looked and looked for a neoprene sleeve/pouch for the Z Ultra with zero luck. I am talking about something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Andro.../121442114077?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
Does anyone know if such thing exists for the Z Ultra?
Thank you in advance!
I continue to look for the same. The closest/best I've found (not purchased) is ebay 360689146381. It's about 20cm by 15 cm. Haven't found anything specific for the ZU, have to go for e-reader/small tablet ones.
Thanks. I cannot find the sleeve dimension in the listing. You can pick Xperia Z Ultra from the drop down menu, but I am not sure that means that the sleeve size is customized for the Ultra, or just that Ultra will fit in it (20 by 15 is a little big).
Edit: This one is 20 by 13.5; a little pricier because of the design, but also closer in size to the Ultra:

Maybe this one, I bought it for my C6833. It's made by genuine leather - please see the pictures. Don't be bothered by the back mirror.
It is from local manufacturer in Serbia and is marketed under name "Spes". They may be willing to send abroad. The links are:
https://sr-rs.facebook.com/SpesLeather
http://www.kupujemprodajem.com/Kozne-futrole-pull-out-SPES-za-sve-6373446-oglas.htm
Local price is about EUR 10,00 plus post charges. I didn't find any link in English.
That's a nice sleeve, thanks for posting. Does the phone fit in there only "naked"? Or can you have a thin bumper case on it?

The phone fits in so closely (almost tight) so that no bumper can be on it. But I think you may check with the producers whether they can make the case with some special dimensions. They are not a big company with a big production, so a single special order is maybe possible.
Edit: I see now on their Facebook page the words "ručni rad". That meens hand made, made by hand
OtterBox just released a Defender Series Case for the Sony Xperia Z3v. But does anyone know if it will be compatible with the original Z3? Because according to the dimensions specifications in GSMArena the original Z3 seems to be slightly and I mean slightly smaller compared to the Z3v.

The Z3v does not have a magentic dock from what i can see. The phone will most probably be a bit loose in the case anyway.
Well, I ordered one early last week and I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow. It was an impulse purchase as soon as I saw that it was available, I thought that OtterBox made a typo mistake by saying Z3v because at that moment, I didn't even know that Sony had released an Xperia Z3v lol. When I get it, I'll post back and tell if it's somewhat compatible and hopefully doesn't sit too loosely in the case. I have a Nillkin 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector on my Z3 which makes it a little thicker. I don't even plan on using the magnetic dock portion anyways on my Z3, just charge it normally with a microUSB cable.
Just got the OtterBox Defender Z3v case in today, not compatible at all with the Z3. It wiggles up and down when in the case and not only that, you won't be able to charge or connect a USB cable at all while it's in the case.
EDIT: The opening for the USB cover on the case sits over half of the port cover on the Z3 so you won't be able to pull the port cover out.
If anyone with a Z3v looking for an OtterBox Defender Series case for it, I'll sell mines if you're interested, just PM me.

I've had my Z Ultra for some time now and I'm thinking of getting a magetic charger. I did get a cheap one some time ago which wasn't embedded in a stand but just sat directly on the contacts on the side of the phone. Unfortunately it would fall off at the slightest movement. I've recently spotted chargers with stronger magnets which are a lot more robust for the Sony Zs but couldn't find one for the ZU. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one for the ZU without having to use the dock and with a decent charge rate.
Cheers
I think all of them are cross compatible across all Xperia phones, I have bought one of them from AliExpress and it was originally meant for Xperia Z2 but it fits my ZU perfectly. Just yeah, don't buy the cheapest ones, it should cost about 6-9 dollars, the best ones are these with the charging indicator led, they have really nice magnets. I will add a link tomorrow.
Regards
Yes I was wondering that. A link would be appreciated, thanks

Amazon (UK or USA) I've found to be really good and I'd agree the LED one's espec with the metal connectors are the best one's as they also tell you the right way to connect them
So you think any of these would do the ZU?
