I do not think Z2 will work with the Z1 dock,you need the special one for Z2,DK36.

And keep your Z1, you will be so terribly sorry that you bought z2, trust me.
If you want a new phone, buy S5.
Or you can buy my Z2 so i can buy S5.

The dock is open on the sides, so lenght doesn't matter, it is the same with the width.
So the only thing that matters is the thickness and the type of contact.
Contact we now is the same, and Z1 width is 8.5mm and the Z2 is 8.2mm.
And the dock is not that tight fitting on the phone.

What do you say bout magnetic adapters available in net shops (Usb to magnet charge)?
Are these any good, anybody tried?
I know there are some Sony official cables (Sony logo on the charging tip), and also some china made not originals..
They supposed to fit to normal sony charger, just that the other end of cable is magnetic, not micro USB.

It's a little hard to find it in Saudi.

I got the basic stuff in my box, with the other headphones.

Try checking in Jarir for the Dock (I saw it once), and if you can't find the Z2 one, just buy the Z1 Dock.

If you can't find any, I recommend you buy one from expansys.com.sa

It costs 165 SAR
