Storage and carrying ideas for Apple Pencil

Interested in storage and carrying ideas for the Pencil. Can I use a cap? Maybe from a Bic pen? Is there an easy way to carry it with the iPad Pro and keyboard cover? Since there's no off switch, is there a downside to storing it near the iPad? Or far away? Is it possible to attach something to the Smart Cover to hold the Pencil? Thanks.

iPad, iOS 9.1, iPad Pro and Pencil

After considering these great choices, I adapted the toothbrush case idea. I Got 1/2" PEX tubing, plugged one end with a piece of dowel and used an end-cap for the other. To protect the Pencil's tip, I drilled a hole in the dowel so the Pencil rests on its shoulder (adjacent to the tip). I carefully cut it to length and glued a small foam cushion inside the cap. The Pencil is fully protected, stays in place, and for less than $10 US, I got enough material for about six cases. Know anyone who wants one?




THank you for all replies.

That is an absolutely great idea! I think I am going to find one of those and decorate it myself with cute rhinestones and that will be my carrying case!
Awesome idea 🙂 especially since I have been wondering about what I could store it in since it is just in my iPad Pro bag with no protection.

MoKo Pencil Holder Case for Apple Pencil, Premium PU Leather Case Carrying Bag Sleeve Pouch Cover for Apple iPad Pro Pencil / Pen (with Built-in Pocket and Holder), INDIGO


I bought the indigo case so I could find it easily. In it I store the pencil, charging cable, adapter, and another protector. It is very well made and will survive the backpack jungle. Highly recommend it and bought on for my sister.
