Reddit reviews Apple Pencil 1 & 2 Holder Sticker - Peel N Stick Elastic Stylus Pocket - ZUGU CASE (Black)

I use one of my ipad / pencil combos in a manufacturing environment. To keep me from misplacing / forgetting / losing it, I stuck one of these pencil holders to the back of the case.

It's situated such that my fingers curl around the pencil when I'm carrying the ipad, makes it real obvious when its not there.

It'd be kinda neat if you could set up something where your ipad/phone would get a notification when the connection was lost.

I use this stylish case, cap holder, glass, and backup holder sticker.

I like this case because I can prop up the tablet on a surface in different ways (for handwriting, drawing, reading, etc).

Mechanical keyboards are a bit of a niche thing, so the one I use (keychron K1) might not be your thing. The Apple Magic Keyboard works great with the iPad, and Anker and Microsoft also make great portable, or foldable ones.

If you're opting for an air instead, I'd suggest you get either a case that has a pencil holder, or a pencil holder that you can stick onto your tablet's case (like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y57C5Y4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vYewDb5XKPVMT )

Currently, only the 2018 iPad Pros are compatible with the 2nd gen Apple Pencil.

The iPad is really good for productivity tools like MS Office, and it looks like you'll get a lot of use out of it for school. The only courses I can think of that would need a high-powered computing machine are IT courses (for program and software development) and engineering/architecture (because of CAD).

I bought the Logitech Slim Folio for my 5th generation iPad and upgraded to the 6th gen purely for the Apple Pencil support. However, the case does not have a pencil holder, so I bought this one on Amazon and a few weeks in it works fine. If you end up liking a case without a holder, you can just apply this one wherever it seems most ideal

I rarely have issues with the lack of backlit keys, as if I were using it in a dark room (bedroom) the iPad is probably too bright to use anyway without waking up wife.

I was concerned about lack of pencil storage, bought a stick on pencil holder from amazon: ZUGU CASE Apple Pencil 1 & 2 Holder Sticker - Peel N Stick Elastic Stylus Pocket (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y57C5Y4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_10a0DbV092GNM

It’s worked great for a month and a half of heavy daily use.

I use the Zugu apple pencil holder
