How to deal with a loose female socket on the IPad

Assuming that you have an iPad with a Lightning port, the problem with a poorly retained connector is usually associated with breakage of one (or both) of the integral spring retainers of the iPad Lightning port.
Replacement of a damaged Lightning port is unlikely to be economic. For an out-of-warranty repair, Apple will usually charge c.60% of the “as new” price of the iPad - and in lieu of repair, for qualifying devices, will usually offer exchange for a reconditioned iPad of the same model and specification.
