MoKo Holder Case for Apple Pencil 1st Generation, Retractable Apple Pencil 1st Case Protective iPad Pencil Sleeve Skin Cover with Clip, Watermelon Red

I absolutely love this Apple pen case! It makes using my iPad so much easier and I can write for hours using this case! It is so comfortable, and extremely easy to put together! I cannot recommend this enough! It’s definitely one of my must haves!

If you use an Apple Pencil you must purchase this. I truly believe this is how Apple Pencils should have been designed. I’m a tattoo artist meaning my busy hands are my $$$ makers- and therefore need to be taken care of! In addition to helping my hands, it protects the pencil and allows for easy & versatile storage.The slim design of the Apple Pencil caused me hand cramps after hours of clutching it everyday. I tried making grips out of towels/sensi wrap and purchased grips and cases in efforts to increase the girth so my hand could get a break from the constant death grip. They were all ineffective to say the least.This case even stabilizes the pencil so it’s not floating inside, allowing clean lines. It added enough circumference to allow my hand to relax without being so big that it was either too heavy or was inconvenient to store/travel.The “stem?”-clip? that is on the side of the case is perfect for my iPad case. (It’s a fold cover with an elastic band to keep it closed)I store my pen on the edge of my iPad under the elastic band with the “stem” on top and it is very secure and out of the way. I would imagine multiple case styles could work with storing this design.I saved my favorite feature for last: the protection. I’m baffled that a company as design-orientated as Apple designed this stylus. Did they not consider the “lifestyle” this pencil would have? Within the first week of purchasing the $100 device, I lost the ridiculously designed weakest magnetic cap to the Apple Pencil. Shortly after, the newly exposed charging-end broke literally off the pencil. The connection of the metal band to the white plastic on the top was salvageable with some tape and glue and the wires inside were all intact so the pencil still functioned normally. At this point, I just had to be careful when charging and removing the pencil from the charger. (Prop the end up so it was perpendicular to the iPad to relieve tension on the weak point, and push the pencil out of the charger with my nail to eject it from the port itself to prevent the wires coming out of the pencil) BUT THEN I GOT THIS CASE AND IT SOLVED ALL OF MY PROBLEMS!!This case not only provided a SCREW ON END CAP to protect my charger but the inside chamber that stabilized the pencil also tightly grips and supports the part of my pencil that broke; keeping the metal end and plastic body secure and sturdy. (Plus a retractable tip for your nib!)This inexpensive case has extended the life of my busted @$§ Apple Pencil for over a year with no complications and is still going strong. I’ve waited so long to review this product because I knew I would get too excited and take two hours to write an essay about a stylus case; but that procrastination has made my review even more credible. I’ve used this product for over a year now and I’m still just as excited as I was when I first put it on my pencil. Not only did it solve every problem that I had with the original design but it made my pencil so cute (I got the pink one, it’s a very nice pastel shade, with A subtle mauve undertone for a more “sophisticated” pastel)I’m aware that I took this review too seriously; but seeing as I am holding/using this device even more than my tattoo machine and that my career is dependent on the health and ability of my hands, it is very important to me. I want to kiss the designer of this case and reccomend it to every artist in search of the right case. I hope that the thouroughness of my review will help anyone in need decide whether or not this will be a good fit for them.If I was being a nit-pick I would say there’s only two teeny tiny con’s with the design. And I mean so small I almost wasn’t going to include it but I’m here to be diligent in my review.The first is that I still have to prop the tip of the pencil when charging. Naturally, due to the added weight the pencil won’t lay perpendicular to the device when charging.Second is that while charging, there isn’t a designated spot to attach the unscrewed cap so it has a higher potential to either get misplaced or lost. Depending on the surface, I can sometimes use the end cap to prop the tip of the pencil up during charging however, the cylindrical shape of the cap causes it to sometimes roll away and isn’t stable enough for all surfaces. I’ve also tried “clipping” it inside of the “stem/clip” I mentioned before and it works but only if I bend the plastic back a little bit to allow the “tooth” to slide past the threading on the cap. I don’t like to do this due to the risk of the clip breaking as it’s not designed to bend that direction. This clip’s function is to retract the pen so I don’t want to break it.I think If one side of the end cap was flattened out or if the shape of the cap was cut differently to double as a stand for the tip of the pencil while charging. Perhaps with different ways to lay it to accommodate different surfaces and distance from pencil-surface depending on the case of the iPad.Regardless, these are just nuisances. I whole heartedly scream my reccomendation from the rooftops: BUY THIS CASE!

The media could not be loaded. I love this case for my Apple Pencil! It’s super cute and was very easy to put my Apple Pencil in the case. I love that it protects my pencil when not using it. It is not silicone but I still find it very comfortable to hold and write with!

I've been looking for something like the grip on a Dr. Grip pen, to help my carpal-ish wrists, and haven't been able to find that anywhere. So I tried this for my 1st-gen Pencil because of the click-retraction scheme, which does work perfectly for me (you press the clip down rather than push the pen cap; it's best if you hold own thumb over the cap when you do it, though, as the spring is very powerful; plus, taking care of the spring will likely make it last much longer).It's a little tricky opening the case to get inside: you have to push a pin (included) into a slot under the clip, and it's not obvious where inside the slot you should push. But I've been able to do it twice so far (once to put the Pencil in and one to get it out to measure it–see below), and neither instance took me more than half a minute.The inside of the case fits the Pencil perfectly. It's not a rubber thing that takes you half-an-hour to get the Pencil into, just a plastic slip that's perfectly sized. Really, once you get the pin to work, the rest is very quick and easy.As the case's diameter was a bit larger than I was anticipating, I decided to do some measurements with a pair of calipers I own. Here are the diameters of some other writing implements for comparison:7 mm : 'regular' wooden, hexagonal pencil (flat edge to opposite flat edge)9 mm : APPLE PENCIL10.5 - 11 mm : Supernote (basic) pen11.75 mm : 'regular' Sharpie (fine point model)12.5 mm : Dr. Grip pen14.5 - 15.5 mm. : THIS CASE17.5 - 18.5 mm. : regular highlighter[The variations on some are due to the fact that some of the shafts taper, and people differ in the distance from the tip where they feel comfortable gripping, so I provide the mins and maxes–smaller values are always closer to the tip.]So this case is somewhere between a Dr. Grip pen and a highlighter. For me, the Pencil by itself and this case lie pretty much equally far apart from my ideal, the Dr. Grip. This case is smooth, hard plastic, like the Pencil, so there's no extra grip provided.The Pencil didn't really feel too narrow for me, and this case doesn't really feel too wide for me, so I'll stick with the case because it's probably better for my wrist if I err in the larger direction rather than the smaller one.

Saw this on Pinterest and had to purchase. You will definitely have to force the pen in a little unless u bought the expensive one. Works great

The media could not be loaded. Have to take take stars off because the case is WAY too big for a standard pen holder thats usually included on a case. The top is screw on/off & is magnetic.Is a little to plastically for me & a struggle to charge the pen while in the case. But I love the color.

After looking at many sleeves for Apple Pencils (1st gen), I found this holder. It looked like it would offer decent protection, even though it would add body to my pencil. I liked the design with the function of older style clickable pens and decided to give it a try. My hands are neither large nor small, and this holder is very comfortable to me, especially since I needed something ergonomic that wouldn’t be slippery like the pencil is itself. It gives my Apple Pencil the size and heft of my favorite drawing pencil, which is quite thick. It’s easy to put the pencil in and use, and it protects both ends and entire length of the pencil.
