Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Apple Pencil Accessory Set: Grip, Holder, Cover, and Protective Nib Cover - Blue by Shrikant Ojo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works but needs user adjustment

Case: Fits snugly on the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. However, it is either too long or stretches when inserted as the cap takes up too much space at the top and can easily fall off. The thickness of the sleeve makes the pen thicker and more comfortable to grip. However, this also means that the double-tap feature requires a firmer pressure and it will take some time to find a sweet spot for the feature. The iPad can recognize the Pencil while charging, but it takes a little longer in comparison. You may feel that the stylus is not as tight to the iPad because of the case. If you have a Pencil Holder Case 2, you need to push the pencil down a little so that it becomes visible and starts charging. Don't think that just because you feel like a magnet is pulling on the pen, it will charge just as easily as without this sleeve. At least in my case this is not the case. Overall the case works, but it could have been better if the silicone was a bit thinner. The case on the Apple Pencil Gen 1 also fits well and is pretty good overall. However, the thickness can affect how well it fits in the mount in some cases. Tip: According to the item description, the second generation pencil fits perfectly. It works well for note-taking (e.g. Goodnotes, Notability, OneNote, etc.) as it offers more grip on the screen than using it without the tip cover. However, it's best to remove it when using drawing apps like Sketch Up, Procreate, etc. because you need to apply more pressure and it will affect how you draw bright subjects. The YINVA support people are pretty good. They responded promptly to iron out the issues.
