Yeah, that "more durable" claim is nonsense in practical terms. The design of the port itself might be more durable for plug insertion and removal but the actual engineering implementations are as fragile as heck.

My son has gone through two Fire usb ports and he did nothing excessive to either of them. Thankfully, Amazon replaced them both times without issues, but we're being extra careful to not let it happen again.
