First impressions on the USB C use in the Nexus 5X

I have to say that I'm not too thrilled with the USB C. It pops out with virtually no effort at all...possibly because it is lacking those little "teeth" that the microUSB connectors have on them.

Just moving your phone a tiny bit will result in dislodging the connector (either from the phone or from the wall adapter). NOT COOL.

I have a totally different experience. It's actually quite tight on mine--I had to really push to get it firmly in place the first time, and still have to pull hard to get it out. I've seen many other people describing the same experience.

Are you sure that you are plugging it in all the way?

I agree with DWolf. It actually takes some effort to get in and out. It does feel a bit big and clunky. I'm used to lightning connectors on iPhones which are great in my opinion (small, reversible, secure).

Mine is very tight. I like it just fine, as much as you can like a connection. I just hate that the provided cable is so freaking short. Why on earth couldn't they have included a longer one? They make a longer one and sell it the Google store.

NVM. Case of the stupids---didn't have it pushed in all the way!

100% agree. A 6' cable would be heavenly!

It's ridiculous that I can't plug the provided charger in next to my couch and use my phone at the same time while I sit there without an extension cord. I know replacement cables are only like $10 on Amazon, but it's the principle of the thing. I spent enough on the phone in the first place, the least they could do is provide a cable that doesn't tie me to within a 3' radius of the wall socket.
