Counterfeit magnetic cables on e-bay! - Xperia Z1 Accessories

I think I've been had. I ordered a white Genuine Sony Magnetic Charging Cable For Xperia Z Ultra Z1 L39H Black/White New from a seller named "thinkpan" here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301149241841?var=600234814479
Something about the cable quality and packaging seems a little off to me. Am I just paranoid or is this how these come from Sony? I thought the cable would at least have the little white tab label a lot of their cabled items include. What's funny is that the plastic wrap around my cables is inside out and don't include the trademark indicator next to the Sony logo.

What are your thoughts? Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Hey that was never original from Sony. Actually sony never released such a product!!!

What glad win said, they never released such a cable, you were only able to take it out of the dk31 dock by unscrewing it

martin fields screen counterfeits?

i know there must be a few fakes of these around.. But I ordered a Martin Fields protector from Morpeth Mobiles recently.. the screen protector looks okay but has sharp edges, but the main thing that makes me think these are counterfeit is this ....
and no, this isnt a dodgy scan.. the inlay is actually printed like this, on paper.
hmmm morpeth mobiles pulling a fast one you think?

Email martin field with photo's i did the same after purchasing one from ebay amd they confirmed it was genuine? give them a try, mine was just printed on paper but wasnt as bad as yours by the looks of it.
Next time u can buy directly from them. It takes a few more days extra as they ship from southeast.
I am a big fan of them

How have I never seen these before?
I wonder how strong is that magnet though; because if I have my phone on charger and if I pick it up from the desk, I am afraid the magnetic charger will just fall off, as the contact surface is minimal.

Well, the "cheap" ones from DX won't hold with a case, so I don't recommend them!

Bugdroid Circuit Case vs DK48

If anyone is interested, I found that Z3 Compact with Bugdroid case perfectly fit in DK48 with adapter included in Z3 Style Cover.
Now I would like to buy such adapter separately

Sony you done it again... why could they have not included this with the dock KNOWING people will use other covers with their phones... lovely.
As I have just purchased the bugdroid case and the DK48 I'm happy to know this information but also want to know where can I get this adaptor or an equivalent?

Great looking genuine handmade leather cases (with free shipping)

It took a while to find these, but they look great.
I've got mine on the way already, and will put a review up when I get it.
The simple leather cases (at the bottom of the page): http://www.tetded.com/home/en/242-xperia-z3-compact-d5803-d5833
Free shipping doesn't hurt either!
Here is the one I ordered:

Not bad. I would have maybe gone for one of the wallet style cases, but I don't like the white stitching on the front.
Looks good, I'm not sure why they didn't use a photo of the z3c for the z3c case though. What kind of phone is that anyway?
If it's the same as the pic then for me its a shame they left the micro usb uncovered like that. Ive had a couple of cases with that design concept and they just aren't strong enough on that side.
Still, looking forward to hearing how it goes

Question Pixel Watch Stands

I've been looking at stands for the watch, has anyone tried one yet? I've ordered myself this, hopefully will work well.
Stand Holder for Google Pixel Watch, Non-Slip Silicone Charging Dock Stand, Charger Base Holder Stand with Cable Management Slot- 【Charging Cable Not Included】
I tried a combo charging station and no it didn't work. The only charger that I found working is the stock charger for now. And for now, 3d printed stands from Etsy are working. I've had some for my past smartwatches and pretty happy with them.
The first one I just got I didn't see a closed bracelet until Google started selling their stretch ones. I did order a cheap Chinese one from Amazon and those are ok and worth the price. But you wait for like 3 weeks for delivery.
