Should I use a dust plug for my iPhone SE to keep it dust free?

Should I use a dust plug for my SE as I plan on keeping it for a few more years? Or, should the port be cleaned periodically?

Hello~ I would suggest that you be extremely careful with cleaning the port on your iPhone as not to damage it by doing so. I have several cases that have a tab that covers the charging port and work quite nicely. I have on occasion used a port plug but find that removing them, keeping up with them and keeping them clean is a hassle. Try looking for a case that has a flip back tab online as they work well and does not impede charging.
