Cables are designed to break away, and take the damage to save the ports. I have noticed that the odd placement of some ports has lead to stress that wouldn't be there normally with a traditional bottom placement. (The first Samsung Galaxy had a top port, and was notorious for getting damaged with either moisture or stress.)
