Or grab a wireless charger. Of all the great things about USB-C, that tiny little “tongue” in the socket isn’t one. Wireless charging will get rid of 99% of the wear that port will see.

Pull on the connector instead of the cable and it’ll last 3x longer

While that might be right in some cases, these just had really bad plastic coverings. I had an htc cable made with the same stuff. Without using it just sitting the drawer, it now is cracked all over and the cover is falling apart. Mechanical stress probably would make it break faster, but these cables also just sucked.
