I thought of the idea of adding glue around the connector case to more firmly attach it to the board for a while, but if even Nokia won't do it for RMAs and such, then I'm guessing it's been tried and probably didn't work. For us, the additional problem is that you couldn't try it until the warranty expired and by then it may be too late anyway.

As for the port saver idea, I guess I should have mentioned I bought the Noreve case and that the port is covered most of the time by the flap. Otherwise, the idea of using glue or something else to more firmly secure the male end makes sense, though I'm wondering how to do it without spoiling the warranty or making it impossible to remove and replace later. What the scoffer didn't understand is that the entire idea is to remove as much stress as possible from the port and the connection, and adding something to the external case may fix that problem. As for the bulk, that's the entire point of using an angled connector: the cable comes down rather than out in order to maintain a low profile; this also makes securing it easier as well.
