I just look at the port and the USB connector and see which side the plastic bit inside is blocking and which side is open, can get them right every time if you take 2 seconds to look at them

Unless you're plugging it in a dark place in the back of a PC and you forgot to bring your phone... So you just try and see which orientation is correct.

If things are done according to the spec, the logo's engraved/embossed on one side and not the other, so you can learn to feel that and get it right first time even in the dark.
