Charge Apple Pencil 2
Is there any other way to charge the second gen. Apple Pencil other than magnetically to the new iPad Pros?

Given the device is not available yet, this is the only information that Apple has released on it, Apple Pencil - Apple
Not sure it would really matter, since at this time, that version of the Apple Pencil is only compatible with the new iPad Pro, so you would only be using it with that device, so the device would be available to charge it. You will have to wait until it is released to see more information about it.
Well, there was no option for that with the original Pencil, and the new one is not backward compatible. I've seen covers for the older ones that have options to hold the pencil. I'm afraid this is going to be one of those "wait and see" situations for the case manufacturers to react to. Good luck with your purchase.
It does matter to me. I'm considering purchasing an 11" iPad Pro and I would like to find a wrap-around cover like I have on my iPhone X, just to protect the back and leave the face uncovered. So far all the covers I see like that, or similar where they wrap the iPad edges, say they are not compatible with the new Apple Pencil.
I guess I didn't take cover choices into account, but is it possible that the covers that you are looking at are not for the new iPad Pro? I would find it unusual for case manufacturers to not take that into account. But then, since the device has not been released yet, we don't know everything. You can try a chat with Apple via the Contact Support link, or use their Twitter account @AppleSupport to see if they can answer your question, or wait until it has been released and see if someone that purchases the new device can answer your question after 7 November. Or you can stop into the nearest Apple Store on that date or after to see one of the devices up close and query the sales staff about the charging options.
I am looking at the very few new covers for the 11" iPad Pro. I do agree that it is too soon to make any judgment. I hope there are cover options like I want, but I don't see anything like that even with covers made for older iPads.
