Hi, my Mum has just had the above iPad Air and 2nd Gen pencil for her birthday, we'd like to get her a new cover to protect this but also store/keep the pencil with it.
I cant work out whether the iPad covers are compatible with the pencil? How is the pencil stored or should I focus on certain models of cover that work with the iPad and Pencil?
Thanks for your help
The Pencil is attached to the side of the iPad to charge. The Magnetic connector needs to be unhindered for the Pencil to attach and charge. It may be covered if the material does not block the magnets.
Look for a case or cover that states it can hold the Pencil or one that at least does not cover up the connector for the pencil. For example: https://www.amazon.com/Soke-iPad-Case-Pencil-Holder/dp/B08CX84SFM

To add to your options… STM market very robust cases for iPad that incorporate protection for a docked Apple Pencil.
This one is for iPad Air4:

Also marketed directly by Apple.
One of my friends is using this one, and he's satisfied:--> https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HPKU2ZM/A/stm-dux-plus-for-ipad-air-4th-generation
or search for similar products in Internet (there are hundreds of covers for that iPad+Pencil).

Oops - sorry ProustGiulio. I was composing this earlier - was distracted - and only just hit the post button. You had replied with the same suggestion in the interim period between my composing and posting.
