Dracool Pencil Holder for Apple Pencil Pro and Pencil 2nd Gen - Slim

In this review of the Dracool Pencil Holder, the bottom line is simple: it is a slim, practical solution for Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil 2nd Generation users who want a low-profile holder that works with magnetic iPad cases. The reviewer found it best for people who use a Magic Keyboard, Smart Folio or similar magnetic case and need a scratch-resistant, lightweight mount that does not interfere with wireless charging while keeping the pencil close at hand.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil 2nd Generation, it fits a wide range of iPad models and works with magnetic keyboards and folios.
• Wireless Charging Compatible: The pencil sits on the top edge without blocking wireless charging so users can keep the pencil charged while mounted.
• Easy to Use: A tab cut-out lets the user remove the pencil with a single press, making one-handed access quick and reliable.
• Slim and Scratch-free: The metal plate plus soft TPU construction is ultra thin and the coating helps prevent scratches on the holder and pencil.
• Firmer Attachment Option: An included removable adhesive strip can be applied to stabilize the holder when used on its own on an iPad.
• Protective Design: The holder protects the Apple Pencil from contact with sharp objects in a bag when mounted or carried.

Who It's For

The Dracool holder is ideal for iPad users who rely on an Apple Pencil Pro or 2nd Gen Pencil and keep their tablet in a Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard Folio, Smart Folio or other magnetic case; it keeps the pencil accessible without bulk. It also suits people who prefer an ultra thin accessory that does not add noticeable weight or thickness to the iPad.

It is less suitable for users who fit a protective cover to their Apple Pencil (this will affect compatibility) or for owners of third-party pencils whose overall length differs from 6.53 in; confirm pencil length before buying. Those wanting a holder with an internal magnet should look elsewhere, since the metal plate itself does not include a magnet.
