They're called USB condoms, I'm not kidding.
The data transfer pins are physically removed so it can only give power. You place the "condom" between the charging cable and your phone.
You can buy them on Amazon for around $10

Ok, one more thing to watch out for. It seems
hackers are inserting computers into public charging stations (the
ones with USB connections). When you plug your phone in it
charges fine but also has all the info on it copied into that
hidden computer.
So... anyone know of data blocking USB cables? Lets the power
communications through but blocks any other data transfer? I know
a couple of ways to do this but I can't take on a project until
after we move.
