[ Magnector X ] High Performance Sony Xperia Z1 / Z2 / Z1S / Z3 Compact Magnetic Charging Adapter for Micro USB Cable - Enhanced Magnetic Connection and Charging Speed [ Black ]

Update: Device defect. Sony holds the port with glue. Takes 14 days for a repair to be performed + shipping times. That is if Sony thinks it's their fault. I did a search and this problem is common in the Z2 too... ________________________________ Update: After about 2 weeks of having it, it yanked out the magnetic port on my Z3. When charging I always leave it in the desk and the port is flat so there is no way that an external force did this (example getting pulled by accident at weird angles couldn't break anything because this is hold my magnetism). I think the magnet is too strong don't what to say from this issue besides BEWARE. My phone is the Tmobile Z3 so it barely has a month with me... _____________________________ It is solid, doesn't feel cheap and delicate. It fits perfectly on my bugdroid case (minimalist case) but I doubt it would fit on a big case since the charger goes parallel to the phone. If it went perpendicular it would fit perfecly in any case. The magnet is strong and secure I would say it feels like a Macbook charger, it has the right strength for a secure connection and to allow for a disconnection in case someone tumbles on the cable. Overall 10/10

I am using this adapter with an orange Z3 Compact and a smoke grey Ringke Fusion case and it works great. I have no problem getting a flush connection to the phone even with the case on, and it seems to charge very quickly. I was previously using the Sony DK48 dock, but with the case on, I cannot use the spacers, which results in a weird fit (sometimes it locks in first try, sometimes I wiggle it around to catch the magnet). Since I do not actually use the dock for anything other than charging (i.e., not activating Daydream mode/ using it as a clock at night), this adapter and the USB cable are going to become the standard charging method. I have seen some reviews saying this does not fit their phone, but I assure you it works on a Z3 Compact, with and without a case. The magnet is quite strong- I can pinch the adapter and lift the phone and it stays connected and charging. Please note you do not want the magnet *too strong* as you do not want to be forcefully ripping it away from the phone just to release it. I cannot speak for full size Z3 phones (international unlocked, T-Mobile, or Verizon's Z3v) but I would recommend this to any Z3 Compact owner. Even though my case does allow normal USB port access, the magnet charger is the way to go!

This adapter works perfectly with the Xperia Z3 compact. The magnet sticks to the phone so well I can pick up the phone by the adapter without losing connection. However make sure to buy a long, light weight micro USB cable (not included) because enough horizontal tension on the USB cable will twist the adapter, causing it to lose connection. This is because the micro USB port is located on the bottom of the adapter (vertical). So when holding the phone (horizontal) or in other words looking at the screen, short USB cable will pull on the adapter and twist it enough to where the pins won't make contact. This only happens if you're holding the phone so if you're just going to charge it without holding the phone, don't worry about getting a long cable. The adapter comes in small original packing, with no charger, and no charging cable. It is small, plastic, and in my opinion, it seems over priced for what you get. I got it only because it has such high reviews. The adapter with an attached micro usb cable sticks out 1/2 inch. It may not be compatible with your phone case, car dock, or docking station.

I use this in my car with my Xperia Z1 Compact. It's convenient being able to snap it on to charge my phone while still being able to take it off and use a standard USB charger to charge my tablet or my wife's phone. The magnet seems strong enough; I have not had any problems connecting the charger or keeping it connected. ***UPDATE*** I originally purchased two of these--one for my phone and one for my wife's. The quality initially seemed good, but over time on both cables the plastic housing surrounding the bit with the magnet that connects to the phone split in two and fell off. I am now on cable number 3. I still love this product but based on my experience it is obviously cheaply made and not very durable.

After my Micro SD slot kept falling from its place every once in a while, I decided to buy a replacement for the slot and use a magnetic charger from now on. This item is great since you can disconnect it from a regular charger and use it for other phones. Plus it is cheaper than buying a new magnetic charger which cannot be detached. The charging rate is not bad, however I feel that it is a bit slower than using a regular micro usb. The magnet is strong and does the job perfectly. I bought two of these magnetic extensions and couldn't be happier. Delivery time was very convenient. I would strongly suggest this item for more convenience while charging the phone.

It's pricey compared to the other options, but it definitely works much better. I use it with a Z1 compact. It clicks into place pretty easily (don't have to line it up perfectly once you get and idea of approximately how it fits. The magnet is also pretty strong. You can still dislodge it if you attach it and literally drop your phone on the table and it lands on the cable. But if you put down the phone gently on the table, the cable stays put. The only concern is that if you have a thick case, it might not reach the contacts. I didn't have any such problem with this and my phone + case. Definitely way stronger magnet than the Smays OEM Magnetic cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRU5FPQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased this connector to use with an Xperia Z3 Compact in a Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case . I'm happy to report that this connector will still charge the phone, BUT there's a caveat: the cable end of the connector is held up a little bit by the case. Fortunately the magnet is strong enough to for at least one end of the connector to maintain a physical connection and allow for charging. Basically there's simply not enough vertical clearance built into the connector to fully compensate for the additional thickness of a majority of cases. All that aside, this is a marvelous adapter IF you plan on charging your phone as-is. The magnet is strong and easy to attach, microUSB cables fit reassuringly into it, and overall it feels like a quality product.

Edit 2/12/2015: Bought Magnector X2. This still does not hug the contours of the phone, but relies on stronger magnet to keep it on. It does stay on unlike the last one, but I worry about it ripping the charging base off like other reviews say. They should really make ones for each version of the phone as they have different dimensions. If the plastic part made contact with the case, less magnetic strength would be necessary as less torque would be applied to the charger when moved. If you look at the Apple magsafe connector it fits exactly in the case thus needing not as much strength to keep it on. This still does not really fit the phone as there is a gap between where the plastic is, and the phone when fully connected. Edit: As with all Chinese products on here from multiple vendors it is hard to know what you are getting when they do not break up the listing. The one I bought in Dec 2014 said Z3 compatible but it is barely so. I am going to give the newly listed Magnector x2 a try as the picture indicates it is different. Product "B00JEN5S6A" is not a good fit at all for Z3 and was what my review was posted for. As others have said it does not fit the z3. Sure it can go on there and charge, but since the surrounding of the plug does not sit flush with the phone case, the slightest movement makes it disconnect. I opened this and threw away the packaging so a waste of money for me. I am going to try to modify it to fit but stay away from this product if you have a Z3
