One thing I really liked about the original 30-pin connector is that you can dangle the phone upside down, without the phone coming out of the connector.

This is the thing that turned me off of micro-USB chargers, and it's a shame if Apple abandoned this feature.

You can dangle my HTC phone perfectly well from its microUSB cable. It's something I instinctively wouldn't do, but it doesn't feel like there's any chance of it falling out.

It's the only way I can find my phone when I'm half asleep in the morning; grab the wire and prod the hanging thing.
