You DEFINITELY want cables and chargers that are “mFi” certified. They are usually indicated with this logo:

iPad Cables and Chargers –> LEAVE THEM HOME!

We’ve seen a number of students walking around campus with their iPad cables and chargers.

LEAVE THEM AT HOME!

So take care of your business – charge your iPad at home.
