I bought the charging dock at the same time as the phone, although that doesn't solve your problem...

in Malaysia zr charging dock is not easy to find like z charging dock.so i use the micro usb for charging like everyone else.if we have to open and close the cover every day for charging the phone sony should make it better to stand longer as we know the cover could effect the waterproof.

Me too. But I clean the flap regularly and it helps in tightening the flap back. Make sure they are clean from dust, oil, etc....

Do Anyone know where i can get this other than ebay? An original one,that is also with the waterproof rubber seal..Im kind of worried that those in ebay,that those back cover are just a fake knock off with a fake rubber seal (not tight or even surface or something) which makes it looks like Real.. Any idea? Wanted an original one or maybe China one with a decent quality that cover the battery compartment in the phone.. Thanks in advance ~

Just got my new Xperia Z today and now I am using the Original Charger Dock DK26 Cradle Stand for Sony Xperia Z for charging my phone, may I know which metal frame case bumper will be fit for my phone but at the same time I can still charge the phone with the bumper on with the Charger Dock DK26 ?

Hello I live in philadelphia USA I bought a z1 from Craigslist brand new unfortunately it's my own fault but I had my phone on charge it fell and was hanging from the wire and it manages to rip off the flap now it's lost I need a new flap is it possible to get one they don't have the phone here Sony said they can't fix it due to not being released here any ideas?
Try amazon, or any UK based phone websites.
But it should be released in US soon and then you can get parts
I did quite alot of looking the only thing I found that might work is the dummy phones it was 10 dollars I emailed them on ebay to see if the flap was able to come off

Called sony
I called sony parts and after being ****ed around to a third phone number that I had to call they quoted me $80 to replace one stupid freaking flap. I think it's worth just being careful with you phone for the time being. That was not including the postage to get it there qld -> nsw. And they mentioned they would do a pressure test to make sure it's water resistant again. Does anyone know if you can just get a life case similar to the iphones case?
Nobody is going to make a waterproof case for a waterproof phone

But it's not even water proof, it's water resistant
You're right though I'm probably the only one who would buy it. I am notoriously terrible with phones.

How could you broke that flaps, mate.
I have tortured my Xperia S for over a year and my flaps are still great...
It's very hard to broke that
But, please, when you fix flaps, could you post a little tutorial so if we broke ours we should know where to buy it and how to replace them
Tnx

I tried to get the part inside the phone out, but it seems that it got really deep. How did you got yours part out of this hole?
These flaps are way too weak, my phone is Three weeks old and the USB flap already feels loose and opens up a little after a while of being closed
I should have bought a dock or that whatever cable

Just push it inside and fit new one - should do no harm
Thanks. I was trying to get it out and in the end I've cut everything of it but the thick part in the phone
Good thing you have posted this or else I'd still try to get it out since I'll be waiting about 20 days for the replacement to arrive. Duh, I paid 4$ for international shipping to Poland which is one of the countries that are somewhere in the middle of the earth ^^.

yeh I had my Z1 dismantled a couple of days ago fitting a new screen so pushing it inside shouldn't present any problems at all
Has anyone experienced magnet falling off from the charger?
I've been using this charger for about a week now,
all the sudden the charger won't stick to my phone so i took a closer look and found out magnet wasn't there anymore.
i guess i should never buy anything from ebay? or does it happen alot?
I used it for about 3 or 4 days and nothing fell off.
you probably got a faulty one.
I got one from ebay and I'm O.K with it.
First few days I had some problems but now it's all O.K.
I love that way of charging...

I have the original magnetic dock charger from sony and a cheap magnetic charging lead from eBay with an original sony plug and both are magnificent
Seems to charge much faster this way too

Under regular usage, my charging flap broke off. I went to T-Mobile and they said I would have to pay $175 to fix it! Anyone have an idea of how I can get it fixed, or will I just not be waterproof anymore

Did you lose the flap? Or do you still have it? If you have it, did you just rip it out of the hole? Or did the piece that goes between the flap and the whole break? I've caught mine and pulled it out like 3 or 4 times, but I've always been able to get it back in with some effort.

I've seen others have this issue and say that calling Sony got them to send them a free replacement, only for the Z1s (not the Z1) though...

tough luck there mate,
TBH i wouldn't call that a charging port either that would be the micro usb port,
ive used it all but 4 times myself when i first rooted my phone,
u use a maglock charger or use the dock, as the usb port isnt made for everyday use
thats why they put the charging dock in the box when you buy it
it also charges faster through the dock/maglock than via the usb
id just push the port back in and get a maglock charger or use your dock
Not everyone got a free dock with their phone.

Yup. I didn't get a dock with my Z1.
My flap also broke off. I bought the replacement for ~10$. Plastic part is still inside though. Since my glass on the back broke off I called service that is authorised by Sony (so I won't lose warranty for repair) and they put a reasonable price for back glass replacement. 250PLN. It's not crazy high, but isn't a 6pack. I asked how much will cost the replacing of the flap if I provide the replacement part along with the regular cost of the flap replacement and the woman on the phone said that that'll be free.
Ask about the price if you provide a replacement.

this can help you, some1 here bought it and even showed that they are waterproof too
I guess I'm getting a dock now. I have tmobile as well and if they charge for this kind of stuff, I'd rather just pay the $10 and get a dock.
I broke my flap as well..feel asleep on the phone while it was charging. Got a replacement from witrigs website.
However, a small piece of plastic was left inside and I used a pin to take it out..wasn't as easy as I thought...the hole is really small...and my pin wasn't as thin as I'd like.
Putting the replacement was easy..used the same pin to just push it in lol

How long did it take you to receive it?
My flap just broke off tonight, I plan to call Sony in the morning to order a replacement.. Just trying to see how long of a wait I'm looking at. My phone looks ugly on that side now, ugh.
I had a piece stuck in there just like you, had my wife get it out with a sewing pin (thanks to your advice).
Lesson learned, once Sony confirms they're sending me a replacement flap I plan to order the official Sony charging doc for the Z1 (everyone I've heard talking about it says it does indeed fit the Z1s) from their site.
