Is this the same docking station? - http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00ITHAL3W/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got myself one of these noname docks for 5 USD like 2 months ago, works perfectly fine with Z1C. Even the usb passthrough charging works fine.
Bought it at http://banggood.com

My eBay dock arrived today! It is the same as the one swong1 ordered.
It is very light but that is to be expected for the price. The narrower of the two inserts fits the bare phone perfectly but the wider one is still too narrow for the phone with the Terrapin Hybrid case.
I spent about 30 minutes scraping away layers of plastic with a sharp blade and now the phone fits perfectly with the Terrapin case on.
Only thing I don't like is the weight. When you pick the phone up, the dock comes with it! I though I might open it up and glue some coins inside to give it some extra weight but there is hardly any room. If you wish to open the dock, there are two small screws under the rubber strip at the back only. I broke one of them before realising this. Think I might just stick it to a heavier base, if I can find something suitable.
Final assessment: Does what it is meant to and really can't complain for the price!
Hi also a new owner of Z1 Compact. Tried the dk31 in the sony store today but that did not fit my z1 compact? Does z1 compact actually fit in dk31
