Hello Adriennefromhighbury,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, your Apple Pencil won't charge on your iPad without removing the iPad case.


This is expected behavior, since the Apple Pencil needs to connect to the center at the top of your iPad. Unless the case specifically has this part removed to allow charging of an Apple Pencil. For that information, you'd need to contact the case manufacturer.


Check out how to charge the iPad here: Charge your Apple Pencil and check the battery


Wishing you the best, take care.
