Apple Pencil 2.0 DOES NOT CHARGE THROUGH CASE

So I use my ipad to draw (via procreate + apple pencil) and recently upgraded to the Ipad Pro 3rd generation (2021) 11" inch version, which I had to upgrade my pencil as well, to the 2nd generation version. The one that magnetizes to the side of the ipad.Altogether, in all ways this case is as I expected. I had a similar one from another brand before for my old Ipad. Liked it just fine so I bought this one. The one thing I had to check was if it had a way to hold the apple pencil and charge it. It seemed to.The images show that it can magnetize through the case, and it DOES. (Though not in the spot designated for the pen. That's on the opposite side of where the apple pencil 2.0 'magnetizes'. But it doesn't magnetize enough, it seems, to charge it. It doesn't show its' charging. It doesn't try to. Even if the ipad is plugged in. So I consider this to be a complete failure of a design for a case. Because the Ipad Pro 3rd gen cannot use the 1st gen pencil, thus you can't use that instead and HAVE to use the magnetizing type of pencil (2nd gen) and it should be designed with that in mind and they.tried? But for whatever reason, that doesn't work.I have to take it partially out of the case to charge my pencil and that's -very- annoying.Otherwise, the case is great. If you're not bummed about that, it will work just fine for you. But if you're like me, you're should probably buy a different case. Or, be like me and use it til you find the case of your dreams and buy that instead.

Pros

Cons
  • The keyboard may not have a comfortable wrist rest
