elago x MONAMI Compatible with Apple Pencil Pro Case & Apple Pencil 2nd Generation Case, Compatible with Magnetic Charging, Double Tap, Squeeze, Haptic (Must Read Installation Instructions) (Black)

I bought this on instinct and brand-trust for my new Apple Pencil 2 and iPad Mini 6. Elago has almost never let me down, and I have a gazillion Elago covers (AirPods Pro charging case, Apple TV Siri Remote), stands (M2, M5, P2), Watch charger stands (W3, W4), and even an early Elago multimedia player stand (see my AirPods Pro cover video review).I hadn't noticed that this comes with a Monami ballpoint pen, a unneeded accessory for me -- I have tons of pens. But the cover is excellent, in keeping with Elago's whimsical theme of styling their cases on retro or contemporary objects. The Apple Watch W3 (Mac Classic) and W4 (iMac) stands are examples.The cover protects the pencil entirely EXCEPT the tip so if you drop it tip first, no guarantees. I did notice that the cover seals the seam/gap between the Pencil's removable tip and body. The trick in putting it on is that you may have to set the rear of the Pencil against a soft surface (a silicon potholder or towel will do), and gently, slowly pull the cover on with two fingernails held against the protruding edges of the cover's tip end (not the tip itself). Do not put pressure on the Pencil tip, you could break it with sufficient force. Simply grasping the body of the cover and trying to slide it on the Pencil will only work half of the way. Once the cover is fully on, you can stretch/squeeze the it to even out. Another tip: CLEAN the Pencil prior to this, dry it. A little compressed air shot in the Elago cover wouldn't hurt, too.After putting the end cap on the butt-end of the pencil, you may be able to gently stretch the cover to meet the cap without pulling the cover up beyond the seam of the replaceable Pencil tip. With patience, you can fit both so that there's zero gap (no white of the Pencil exposed, except of course for the tip).The "magnetic" side of the cover, when put on the pencil properly (following the included instructions) is thinner than the rest of the cover, so the Pencil clings to an iPad Mini very well, and charges quickly. Be skeptical of reviews that complain that the pencil won't magnetically attach, the authors probably didn't align the flat side of the Pencil with the side of the cover marked "Magnetic."In using the pencil with this cover, the cover stayed firmly and reliably on the Apple Pencil. Those complaining of it slipping it off either put a 1gen Pencil, or some other stylus, in the cover. The cover is quite secure on the 2gen Apple Pencil. How's it feel? GREAT. In my man's hands, the soft silicone shape stays 'tween my fingers more securely than the Apple Pencil by itself. Though the 2gen Pencil has a flat side (for clinging to a supported iPad), this slightly larger, softer, beveled shape sits nicely in my hand for extended use. (Note there is an option in iOS Settings to use the Pencil for tapping/scrolling as well as drawing.)Cleaning is easily done with a damp rag. If more thorough cleaning is needed (mild soap and tepid water) take the Pencil out and set aside.Getting the cover off is tricky, but very simple. You'll want to start by removing the end cap, then putting the Pencil tip on a soft surface (again, a towel, silicone potholder, or similar), and gently, slowly pushing the cover down with fingernails against the protruding yellow barrel of the cover. Once the Pencil tip is inside the cover, continue by grasping the white butt-end of the Pencil and continuing sliding the cover off with a fingernail against the edge of the yellow barrel. With patience (!) it will come cleanly off without damage to the cover or the Pencil. Now you can gently watch the cover with mild soap and tepid water, pat with a clean towel, then let it air dry.As I said, I don't need another plastic ballpoint pen (even if the ink cartridge is replaceable), so I returned this in favor of Elago's simpler "wood pencil" Pencil cover, which I'll also review. Both are great covers for your Apple Pencil. If you're a Monami fan, or you badly need a Monami plastic ballpoint pen, this cover is for you.

The media could not be loaded.  Was looking for something different. This collab with South Korean brand Monami was perfect! I looks great!-Double Tap works great, both on the side with the cutout and in the magnetic covered side as well.-Apple Pencil doesn't slide out of my hand.-Charges Pencil! (THERE'S A RIGHT AND WRONG WAY TO SLIDE YOUR PENCIL IN!) FLAT SIDE SAYS "MAGNETIC" ON IT.) Slide your magnetic side with the flat side that says magnetic on it.DON'T EXPECT IT TO CHARGE IF YOU HAVE A CASE ON YOUR IPAD. 2 Cases (iPad AND Pencil sleeve) between the magnets looses magnetism, therefore NO CHARGE, maybe even little to NO magnet hold FOR YOUR APPLE PENCIL. I say cus I read SO many negative reviews when people are too incompetent to apply a simple sleeve.Also NO it doesn't come with the Apple Pencil, yes I've seen those negative reviews too. *eye roll... it's a 17 Dollar Apple Pencil Sleeve y'all not a 130 dollar Apple Pencil. Please put 2 and 2 together here.Can be a little rough to slide in but slowly is the best way, don't get impatient, then shred it off cus you couldn't be careful. It's not the companies fault.

Feels great on the hand, struggle a little bit with the double tap but it work, able to charge with the case. Just a small thing that bothers me is that the cap will not slide all the way in if you want the tip to show more.

I purchased this for my husband to use with his Apple Pencil after watching a review on Youtube of it. It is durable and easy to put on and take off. The best thing about this sleeve is that the "CLICK" still works on the Apple Pencil with the sleeve on which is not the case with many of the other sleeves on the market. It is easy to hold. With the sleeve on, the pencil still connects to the magnetic spot on the I-pad which is a plus that we didn't expect! It comes in white and yellow. I like the yellow because it makes the Apple pencil look like a real pencil (I am a teacher), but my husband chose the white because it looks sleek and modern. It's a toss up! Husband and I both would recommend this sleeve if you are looking!

Really cute and nice to hold but doesn't charge if your ipad case covers the magnet strip, so your apple pencil will just be constantly dying unless you take the grip off or pop your ipad out off the case to charge.

I have bought six or so now apple pencil sleeves that had various issues from fit, to not sticking magnetically, to not charging when sticking, etc. Not only does this feel like a nicer quality material (harder silicone?) but the fit is perfect and it does not mess with charging at all. I only wish it came in other colors.

You would think, putting the hole on the same side as the magnetic part to be able to connect the pencil to the ipad would be logical. But no, the faulty design prevents one to charge the ipad, so you would have to take out the casing to charge which is pretty tedious for the most part. I LOVE Elago, it has been great to my previous pencils in the past years. But, It's definetly not worth the $17. I do not recommend buying this to anyone. But luckely for me, I just snipped off the grooves with my scissors and all is well :)

I bought this cover for my Apple Pencil because I like to accidentally throw it across the room when I am teaching. I liked how it look like a stylish pen. When I bought it, I thought it worked very well. Then I noticed when I put the top on securely, the cover tended to ride down the pencil covering more of the tip. The solution is to put the cover correctly on the pencil with the tip removed. Then screw on the tip. Somehow it keeps the cover from sliding down.

The media could not be loaded.  Como siempre Elago entrega productos de excelente calidad, la funda permite la carga magnética, el doble toque y la nueva acción de apretar. Queda justo a la medida. Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra, pienso pedirlo en otro color.

Não atendeu minhas expectativas. A case é difícil de colocar e o pior, quando a caneta está com ela não carrega no IPad. Não gostei e acabei nem usando mais.

Me gusto mucho, todo muy bien, solo tomar en cuenta que pierde un poco de fuerza el contacto magnético. Pero nada que a mi en lo particular me moleste. Si carga bien

It makes using the apple pencil easierIt even came with a gift (a real pencil in the same shape and color 🥰)Thank you!

I really liked the cover, it's tough and with a nice grip, highly recommend 👊
