Apple Pencil 2nd generation and Otterbox Defender Case

Are there any other charging options for an Apple Pencil 2nd generation? I have an Otterbox Defender case for my 8th generation iPad and it does not have an opening for Apple Pencil.

iPad, 14

Is there a way to charge the pencil without removing the iPad from the case? I have a Generation 2 Apple Pencil and an iPad Pro 11inch 2020. I have my ipad in a case and it won't charge the pencil unless I remove the case. This is annoying and I'd love to know if there is a way to charge the pencil without removing the ipad from the case every single time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The only way to pair and charge a second generation Apple Pencil is to use the magnetic dock on the edge of the compatible iPad.

If your case does not accommodate the second generation Pencil, then the case is not suitable/compatible.
