In case anyone is interested in making USB connectors a bit more kid proof, I recently bought these magnetic USB cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074TB8XTL
For the kid’s tablet, I super glue the micro-usb adapter in place. It sticks out about 1/8 in. No more kid destroying USB ports.
It’s like Apples MagSafe for tablets.
For their claim that it will prevent “tripping over cable resulting in smashed phones”, the magnetic pull is strong enough to yank at least some phones off a table when the cord is accidentally pulled (say by tripping on it).
