I freely admit that there is likely a handling problem, especially when the devices have the cables plugged in when in a car!
We've been lucky and only had the port on the Nexus 7 break so far. For the remaining situations, swapping out the cable restores the ability to charge so I've been assuming something happened to the cable.
