After 4 months of using the micro usb female SMT Socket Connector broke by accident. I had bought a bottom angle micro usb cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/310712144379?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D310712144379%26_rdc%3D1 to avoid putting pressure on the connector.However using this cable, the connector broke.
Maybe a more resistant case will be appropriate to avoid such kind of damage.

very strange, were you connecting and disconnecting it very often?

Not at all !!! But my wife is cleaning it very often.....

One of the solder points of the microConnector is too small. Its breaks at all loads.
Cut your microCable and solder onto the onboard pins like picture below.

Tell me about it.My usb connector that was soldered to board broke off.Gonna solder it on better to the new one I just got.Their workmanship is on par with their customer service.
