Yeah in my build I have a short length of micro USB cable with a usb connector on one end and a 4 pin socket on the other that attaches to a usb breakout board mounted on the edge of the bottom plate. This let me place the usb port in a comfortable location while putting the teensy in a logical place in the case.

Anyway, one of the joints connecting the cable to the 4 pin socket broke. Super easy fix. Other than that it's been remarkably problem free, and as you say, even if I run into issues into the future, repairs are very easy (unless I ever have to replace the controller... that could be more of a pita).
