Cheers for that. That link proved just the job -I haven't ordered one from there, but it turns out what I thought was the obvious search term on ebay abs amazon wasn't

If I were you I wouldn't... The cable has an extremely weak magnet, it comes off at the slightest touch. It would be impossible to use whilst the phone is charging. I could have got the really cheap cable from Amazon but because of the reviews about it's weak magnet I instead got a more expensive cable from mobilefun.co.uk. Unfortunately it was the same poor quality cable.
It's not that the magnet itself is weak, it's rather the design of it.
I can lift my phone with the magnet, even shake a little up and down without it falling off.
However, as you might know the easiest way to remove a magnet is to tilt/angle it, which the design of this magnet makes way too easy.
After all, the entire connector was designed around being mounted inside a charging stand, where the phone's angle to the connector would never change. Using it as a separate cable was never intended, the cable you can buy for example at dx-box is the very same cable that is supposed to be inside that charging stand.
I think if they designed a cable where the plastic around the magnet and the connectors was laying flush against the phone, tilting the cable would become less of an issue.
That said, I can use the phone just fine with the magnet connected as long as I don't pull on the cable, as the magnet is strong enough to handle the weight of the cable with no problem.
Yup you are 100% right. I can indeed lift the phone up using the connector. The problem is with the tilt/angle as you've already mentioned above.
any of you is using thie cable from witrigs ?

i am also considering the magnector X, but if i plan to replace back by glass one, then purchase of this from witrigs is better economically. But don't know how does it works? How is it with charging speed and battery life?
and the last one, anyone using this original cable? and how much is it "original" ?

I've bought one from Amazon and returned it, the cable was falling off at the slightest touch and it was even difficult to set right to charge.
I wanted it for charging the phone in my car, which already has a usb socket adapter, but with the falling out problem it was a no-go from the start.
On the plus side, I ended up with a Supremery charging dock, which is cheaper than Sony and works better (for me at least).
I don't use it in the car - just to be clear

but was it the same from amazon that i linked, or something far cheaper, "branded " by Sony ?
How is it with battery life on Supremery charging dock? Do you see shorter life and longer charging? Am asking because some guys were complaining for those on not original dock.
Thanks

Try this one out, apparently its got fantastic build quality and a very strong magnet.
Every review I have seen has given it 5/5 and most people mentioned buying another for the car/office etc :good:

I really would like to buy this Magnector X cable but I have not found a good way to buy and ship this to Austria/Europe. Any ideas where I can buy this with realistic shipping prices to get this inside the european union?
I bought 2 pieces of Magnector directly from producer: http://magnector.com/?product=magnector-x-adaptersony-xperia-magnetic-adapter
Calculating with delivery to Slovakia it was around 26€.
I am more than satisfied with this product and totally recommend it.
You can have only problem if you are using some case. It is designed for use without it.

this is a copy paste fake of magnectox
in description it says"Perfect conversion adapter for Micro USB to Sony Xperia Z1 or Z2 OR Z1S Charging Cable
Premium Detailed Finish with complete retail package and adapter pouch
2 Times High Magnetic Power than original Sony Xperia Charging Cable
Maximum Charging Speed from Magnector's Enhanced Technology.
Applied "Reverse Attachment Charging Protection" Technology to protect your device
"
What do you mean by that?
What do you want to tell us with that?
Do you mean "Magnector X" ?
The Question is: Is it nevertheless a good product?
(I don't really care if they just copy&paste the description of another "premium" product)
I already ordered two of those cables so maybe I have wasted some euros on a cable no one of the posters above has ever tested?!

I got this one and it is fine. Works a treat. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121400865231?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I have 3 of the dx-box ones:

The magnet may not be ask strong as the High Performance one, but its plenty strong enough for me. I use one in my car and the lead has never detached even when I have gone over pot holes or bumps in the road.
Also, at home I find it stays attached well enough for everyday usage.
Ordered from ebay same product as Sony official except it didn't have Sony logo and was like 3 times cheaper.
I have received the magnector cable and can confirm that the magnet is very powerfull. One can easily lift up the phone by the cable.
It doesn't however automatically snap on to the two (tiny) charging pins. It takes a little bit of practice to make it work.
