If you use a case that has no cover for the charging connector, have you experienced any problems with dirt or dust getting in there and causing problems with the charger connector?
I currently am using a case with a rubber cover plug for the connector port, but I want to switch to another case that has no connector cover.
Will I have any problems?

Thanks
Len
 
From my experience, no. My dad works at a coal mine where a ton of dust and debris are in the air. His charging port is lined pretty thickly with dirt but still charges and syncs just fine.

I have never had a problem.
If you are worried get a plug on eBay.
I have a plug in the earphone jack and have a plug for the charging port that I use sometimes in bad weather.
