When I am playing a charging ipad2, I always feel to be shocked by electricity especially when im touching its frame. Is it normal? Anyone share the same experience?

Stop using third party or china made charging cable..original cable don't have this issue..

Also check the plug. Make sure to use a 3 prong plug that earth, otherwise it might bite.



The top prong, make sure is not a plastic one.
If you use extension to wall socket, make sure the all connection is earthed properly.

try use original cable..best is gold plated one

Mine is having the same issue, everything on my ipad is original from Apple. Didn't bother me much though.

sometimes it's your house's electrical outlet problem. i have the same problem as you, change to other spot ok pulak.

I tried before...make me so scare when charging my ipad XD

I use the original charger and cable, used to have this problem but now no more, but when I touch the back of my ipad, you can "feel" the electric current

It's aluminum, may have static, be careful.

Same problem with mine.

Static can be transferred from the current to the back of the iPad since it has an aluminium back.. you know metal is a good conductor of electricity drill ...

I'm sure you won't get that if you are using a casing no?

Well most users don't usually use their iPad while charging, kinda defeats the purpose of having a mobile tablet in the first place.

However I do use mine as a clock stand while plugged into the AC wall extension socket with a pure leather casing occasionally, no problems or noticeable shocks so far.
