iPad Air 2020 4th Gen 10.9" Cover compatible with Apple Pencil 2nd Gen 2018

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
