how does the rubber plug on the usb port hold up

I AM conscious of it, I Love how snug it is. So far so good. My only complaint is that I wish it had some sort of handle to pull it out when I need to plug in my charger. I think if one isn't careful, it will get dinged by fingernails trying to pull it out, and may eventually fall off.

I've had to case for about 5 months now, and have had no problems with the rubber port. It's held up extremely well.

Honestly, I'm surprised how well it's holding up. The last time i had a rubber plug it came off after a couple of weeks. I've had this case for a few months with no issues.

Mine still works great. It did seem like it was not working as well, but just by chance, I used a different USB cable, and it still works as good now as it did when I got it a few months ago.

I've only had mine for about 2 weeks but seems to be holding up just fine. The case perimeter is more rubbery than hard shell like, and feel very comfortable in my hand.

I myself haven't had ANY problems with the charging port....it's at the bottom ....works fine on mine !!!

I leave mine in a bookbag and transport it every day, as well as plug into separate computers multiple times, and after a month or so, no issues so far.

Not anymore, as far as I can tell. It also slides out the slot very easily so that you lose your USB connections. Not worth it in my opinion, I don't even use mine anymore.

I bought a drive from Sabrent recently. The cord is the weak point. Most drives have either a cord hard fastened to the enclosure or they use a good solid USB socket for a good solid connection. The model sabrent I have uses a flimsy molded rubber plug which I had so much trouble with that I bought another brand with the USB connection to the enclosure. No more problems. I can't see in the pic if this one has the flimsy molded rubber connection to the enclosure and I don't know if Sabrent uses the molded rubber connection exclusively. So in my opinion it is a gamble. Problems that I had were, if you moved the drive or moved the cable, the drive would drop out. At one point I was getting USB CONNECTION SHORT errors from the computer, that's when I retired the Sabrent. The case is well built and sturdy but you need to do your homework on the cable connection to the enclosure. Buyer be ware.

My experience is that the usb port is so fragile that using the headset in this fashion will eventually result in the fragile port breaking. At first, the thing will still charge with some manipulation of the usb cord. Eventually, it will not work at all. I'm actually interested if the workmanship of this thing has changed in a year.

I find the plug end that goes into the phone is a little weak. It tends to get loose after a while. I have had problems with the light and charging sometimes are intermittent. I still recommend this product just because of the price and speed of charge.

I've been using the cord for over a month of constant use and seen no signs of wear. I used to do tech support and this is one of the heaviest duty USB cords I've come across.

On the contrary, I have had no problems with the USB device. It has worked better than my "4" outlet and has given me no trouble at all. I would recommend it to my best friends.

Agree with the previous answer: the USB connector is metal, but all else is plastic. The plastic has been molded *thick enough* to *not* be easily breakable.

I have had Minisuit Aluminum keyboad Case for nearly 6 months now with no trouble. It keeps a long charge, but I don't use it every day.

Your port is on the bottom and middle, it'll do great.. There is right and left movement of the charge connection so even if the port is off center it would still rest nicely on the rubber rest. The older phone models that have charge ports on the upper area are the ones that wont have propper support.

It's plenty durable, but the connections between the two types of chords loses it's ability to hold itself together pretty quickly under normal use. The chord is plenty long if you use USB. But if you prefer using the 3.5 jacks, it's short enough that I constantly disconnect the two cables on accident.

I keep it just plugged in all the time regardless of what I do with the (desktop) computer. The drive seems to be performing well and I think I've had it more than a year. I'm using it for local file sync'ing. It's usb so you should not need to mount or unmount.

No, this is very durable. I've moved it around, plugged/unplugged it multiple times, and it works perfectly (after almost a year).
