Let’s start with terminology. Male means that the end pokes out and is plugged into things. Female means things are plugged into it. So, if you have a Micro USB port that you need to plug an adapter into, then you’re going to need an adapter with a male Micro USB end. If you have a USB-C plug that needs to go into a port, you’ll need an adapter with a female USB-C end.

Before getting a phone case, it’s a good idea to check how compatible it’s going to be with USBs or USB adapters. Product pages on manufacturer’s websites should have this information if it’s not in the owner’s manuals.
