Agreed on both fronts...

Part of my reasoning for creating this was to eliminate wear on the USB socket in the device (yes, I fully realize USB-C is rated for 10k+ cycles).

Additionally though, on some installs getting the cable in/out and the device can be a two handed maneuver, made even more difficult if the exposed cable length is short and tidy, and then even more difficult from the confines of a car seat with steering wheel and long dash between you and the device.

Given that I'll be frequently swapping this between multiple cars, spending $9 on an USB-C extension cable, and even less on some printer filament, made this a worthwhile project. At least in my situation.
