It really all depends on your definition of easier. LOL
Is it really that hard to move a plastic flap and plug in a micro usb cord?
I have a drop in charger for a while now and have yet to set it up next to my other 2-way radio chargers.
Guess its like the android phones. I have wireless charging on my phone and set it down to charge it but is it that much easier then plugging in a charger.
Its not like changing your tire with a lug wrench vs an impact wrench. ha ha ha..
Now in the long run yes. You will save wear and tear on that plastic cover on the side and wear and tear on the actual charging port as well. Not to mention if your having a bad day and take your anger out on the port by forcing the plug in to hard or backwards. Ive seen it happen on phones so its possible to happen on the Unication device.
