Watch out! USB micro connectors are flimsy

After 5 days and about 20 mate/demates, my uart/usb micro usb connector fell off. It looks like the board manufacturer tried to epoxy it down for more support... But it didn't work. What are my chances of getting an RMA?

J14 on my zedboard came off as well. It would prevent hard time for all users if all micro-USB SMT connectors on the board are replaced by through-hole type. Since this is dev board, user accessible connectors must be rugged.
Hope this suggestion is taken for implementation.
