I really don't want to get caught up in buying a crappy aftermarket lightning cable that destroys my iPad. Are there any reliable manufacturers that sell a longer lightning cable? Does Apple make one?
 
Thanks for the reply, I just checked out the apple store and there's 32 one star reviews... Not a good sign. Maybe I'd be better off buying an extension cord for home use.

Griffin 3 meter ligtning cable has been working fine for me.
 
My cousin uses a longer one so she can keep her toddler's iPad charged in the backseat to keep them quiet on a drive...

She just got some USB extension cable to plug into her usb car charger...she had to use a cigarette lighter one though...since the built in one was just too slow...

But then sometimes there are areas where you wish there was an outlet...
 
I bought a supposedly Apple certified cable from groupon, less than two weeks later it just stopped working. Ugh
