USB-A (big ones) slots

[bcnaz]

(BIG ONES)

There are the short corded adapters available, from mini or micro to full size...
 Greatly reduce the risk of damaging those small receptacles on the phone..!
I have had to replace several phones because of those delicate little ports. !  
 Much cheaper than replacing a phone.

The PinePhone Type-C connector place is a small board that separate from main-board. If case you damage the Type-C connector, just order the small board and replace yourselves which takes less than 5 minutes with one small Philip screw driver.

For the USB type A, Ethernet and HDMI output, we have design a type-C docking bar that will work with PinePhone.

That is really Great !

Though we would have to order the part and wait for it to arrive.

* I would do that if I do manage to break it,

***  but I personally would prefer to make an attempt to not break it to start with.
