I feel the USB standard really got it right with USB-C. It seems very reliable and strong compared to micro and mini.
@sullybiker Our tablet stopped charging, and I thought it was because the port had been pushed inside the chassis, but when I finally got around to investigating, it turned out that it was actually because the plastic around the port had developed a few scars too many, which made connectors not go all the way in.
Just filing down the plastic with a piece of plastic made the tablet usable again after a year of disuse.

@clacke My much loved Nexus 7 died this way. The cable egged-out and then pushed in the port. I'm very careful with these things but even in general use it did not seem too robust. I have a nice pair of Bose headphones and I treat the port like glass crystal as I'm so wary of damaging it.
My Pixel 2 USB-C port by contrast is like the day it came out of the box, I don't worry aboout it at all.
@sullybiker Glad to hear it. It is as I wished, but dared not hope. 😀
Looking forward to more USB-C devices as time moves forward. My latest new phone is from 2015. 😀

The connector does not slowly chew up the port either, which still drives me nuts with the older ones. Sharp edges are terrible for mechanical stress.
