    Side note, does anyone know some sort of cable sleeve similar to this that instead grabs onto the device and stabilizes the port?

    As much as I like type-C, the ports on my laptop have worn down significantly and aren’t always stable

      Personally I have the opinion that usb-c should be a connector for mobile devices only and there should be something with the size of a type a or b for stationary stuff. The size makes the connector too flimsy

      Yes, but they typically require that the side on the laptop is also prepared for it. Look for example how the usb ports on toughbooks look. They have a screw next to them.
