Mainly to save wear on the usb flap. But also because the micro usb lead is extremely hard to remove without feeling your about to tear the port out. I opted for just a usb charger rather than a dock. Anyway I have to say it's the hardest thing in the world to line up. In the dark? Forget about it! I imagine it works great on a dock. But the terminals are so small trying to align them whilst the magnet is trying to pull it down. Am I doing something wrong? Im just finding it extremely difficault.
I don't have a dock. It's just a straight usb with magnet charger on the other end. I might see if I can knock a dock up. Didn't want to buy one as I have a case on my phone
The magnet is strong. It's the contacts on the charger are so small. It requires pin point presision to get it working. Do Sony make just a usb magnetic charger? Or does it have to be a dock? Like I said I have a case on my phone and don't want to have to remove it everytime. If I make my own I can at least have it fit to case.
