Xperia Z1 Compact phone stand

thingiverse

I encountered a problem with my new Sony Xperia Z1 Compact phone. I love it and I wanted to buy the official DK32 phone charger stand. The problem was that as of writing this the DK32 is not available for sale in OZ. Anyone with one of these phones will know that they are waterproof. Concern exists that plugging the standard miniusb requires opening a compartment. Concern then extends to the constant opening of the compartment resulting in reduced water resistance. Therefore use of the nearfield charger cables make sense. A secondary problem is that it's a bit finicky to ensure the phone charges using the cable automatically (fiddling around to get the charge to happen got too annoying) so I built this holder to work as a stand and an auto guide for the cable. Works well for me. "Allow me to present my latest credentials." Moriarty "Oh...they're a bit crutty aren't they?" Bloodnok
