Broken Micro USB Cable

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I need help.  I bought an awesome 20 CAD Micro USB Cable from Walmart, and the brand name has something to do with spiders.  Anyway, I bought this cord on Friday, now 4 days later, the clips that hold the thing in have sunken down into the thing (pictures below).  I need to know if anyone can help me fix this, and thanks in advance.

It tends to happen to MicroUSB cables. Honestly for me it's been luck of the draw. I've had OEM cables do that in a matter of days, while cheap eBay Chinese cords have lasted months without the clips wearing out.

Yeah, but on older cables.  This one is 4 days old!  

  

EDIT - I didnt read your post correctly, sorry, and thanks for the feedback.

Lol not really, I had my LG G3 original cable wear out the clips after using it like, 3 times. Meanwhile some generic cable I bought off of eBay for $1 last year is still fine.

"Rawr XD"

Also, it seems to be slowly bending itself up.  I bent it straight, then 5 minutes later its at a 15 degree angle...

This, my shitty ebay ones have lasted longer than my "name brand' ones.

The more you bend it, the weaker it gets.
