Review on πŸ–‹οΈ elago Silicone Pencil Case Sleeve for Apple Pencil 2nd Gen - Dark Gray by Bill Pool

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy to assemble - bags, cases and pouches

My son and I both use an Apple Pencil and I needed something to help me tell them apart easily. I saw this case in a YouTube video and thought it would be an inexpensive and easy way to add some personality to one of our pens. The sleeve is very easy to install. You will receive two parts: the eraser cap and the yellow part of the case. It is very easy to put on and take off. I will say that my only problem is that sometimes I notice that the sleeve slips off the pen easily. It never comes off completely but starts to cover the tip a bit. This is easy to fix but thought I'd mention it. Another thing is that it can still stick to the iPad magnetically and charge. I mainly use the Magic Keyboard and have no issues with the docking station and pencil charging when using this case. Unfortunately, when I use my other case (Logitech Combo Touch), I have problems charging. It still connects magnetically, but I suspect the case is interfering with alignment with the charger. This was a little frustrating as I usually use the combo touch case when using a pencil. You can load it up with a suitcase, you just have to wiggle it around until you find a sweet spot. One last thing is that the sleeve makes the magnets noticeably weaker, so I noticed the pin came off a little more easily. A small change, but noticeable. I love the way it looks and now my son wants one too, luckily they come in different colors. The sleeve makes the pencil a bit thicker, making it easier for some to hold. The flat edges also make it feel more like a real pencil, which can also add to pencil comfort. To be honest, for the price this is a very good deal. Just note that this will make the pen thicker. So be careful when you have a tight-fitting case on your iPad.
