Pencil Pocket A Sleeve for your Apple Pencil by GearCase on Etsy

A Quest for an Apple Pencil Sleeve

I was lucky enough to find an Apple Pencil in an Apple Retail store at the end of November while doing other Black Friday shopping. As an amateur digital artist, I was immediately in love and ever since I've been seeking a convenient way to carry it with my iPad Pro and not lose it.

Simply throwing it in the bag I carry most days is not an acceptable solution. There are times I want to travel lighter with just my iPad. The Pencil doesn't have a clip and slipping it into a pants pocket is just asking for trouble. Carrying it loose was also making me uneasy.

I tried a number of things:

- I added a pencil clip. This works great and I still have the clip on mine. However it doesn't solve the problem of keeping the pencil attached to the iPad while in transit.

- A pen band initially seemed like a good solution. These hold a pencil or pen perpendicular to a band that goes around a notebook. It works, but is a bit awkward and is not all that secure.

- I tried several iPad Pro cases that included a pencil holder of some sort. The cases held the Apple Pencil just fine but had various other issues. None of them stuck with me.

- At one point I purchased several different adhesive pen loops and attempted to stick them to several different cases that lacked pencil holders. This was fiddly, awkward and the adhesive ultimately pulled loose from the case.

And thus The Pencil Pocket was born. Simple, streamlined and secure. Works with a variety of cases (or no case) and keeps the Apple Pencil securely attached right to the iPad Pro until you are ready to use it. It is exactly what I was looking for but could not find anywhere. So I made one for myself.
