Huh. I know it was the rationale behind micro USB that the jacks would be more reliable than before. But I've actually had multiple micro USB sockets fail, while I've never had a problem with a micro USB plug, or old mini USB plugs or sockets.

In particular, my Nexus 7 needed two replacement jacks. I gave up after the second replacement broke. Phone jacks also get a bit loose after a year or two.

Since micro USB (sockets) are supposed to be more stable, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?

Also the stupid things collect lint in my pocket. I almost threw away a phone that couldn't be charged anymore, only to find I can revive it with a toothpick.
