I had an iPad 8 until yesterday, its final use was as a trade-in on an M1 iPad Air. This meant its Apple Pencil 1 was free for other things so it replaced a slightly less capable Adonit Note + stylus I used on the iPad Mini 5. The iPad is in a case with an elastic loop to hold the Pencil when not on use.
I’m not satisfied with the ease of dislodgement of the Pencil 2 from its charging site on the side of the iPad Air. Tomorrow I expect to be able to collect a pre-paid case/trackpad/keyboard combo that has a cut-out on the side where the Pencil sits. Today I’m expecting delivery of a simple adhesive-backed pouch which I’ll attach to the back of the case.
