Spigen DA20 Apple Pencil Holder for Apple Pencil Pro/2nd Gen Compatible with iPad Pro 11" / 13" & iPad Air - Black

I’m not going to lie, I did a little wee after pressing the buy it button on this one. I mean, £27 for a small piece of plastic with a bit of metal hiding within. Shocked Amazon customer naked pose. Come on.I’m not going to knock a star off for the cheek for asking that much for something so, erm, simple.Truth is, this is a little bit of plastic perfection in the world of Apple Pencil 2 holders. It fits great, it’s solid in place, it looks like it’s an Apple accessory for the Magic Keyboard (disclaimer, I’ve got the 12.9” version of the keyboard case) and it holds that damn pencil in place perfectly.Yet it’s easy to remove the pencil with a fingertip. And easy to remove holder for that matter as it literally just slips in between the case and the iPad. Don’t worry, it’s wearing pants. Well, it has a non-scratch surface to protect the back of your expensive tablet.I hate myself for saying this, but I highly recommend it despite, and I may have mentioned this already, it being so expensive.

I was not sure when ordering this that it would fit the latest iPad Pro M4/ Pencil Pro, but it works an absolute treat. The holder attaches firmly and magnetically to my much-loved Pitaka MagEZ Case 2, which in turn fits perfectly on the Apple Magic Keyboard. There is no sign of movement whatsoever or of the holder becoming detached. Placing the pencil in the holder is easy and when inserted the pencil/iPad magnetised retention and charging function correctly. Removing the pencil is a bit of a fiddle, not helped by the cutout being small and hindered by a rather flimsy strip which forms the edge of the cutout, and which frankly appears to serve no purpose at all as the pencil is fully encased. I should add that the pencil holder is made from a TPU material, rather than metal which forms the back. Being TPU, I might be tempted to cut the strip off to give easier access to the pencil but having paid such a huge premium for something so simple I begrudge doing so. Having said that, the holder is well designed, feels premium, fits perfectly and looks and feels at home with my expensive Apple kit, which is possibly where Spigen got their pricing from!Other than observation about the price and the cutout I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this especially when using the Apple Magic Keyboard, which despite its extortionate price lacks a much needed pencil holder.

Yes. It’s overpriced for what it is. If you’re wondering if this can fit Apple Pencil 2 with a silicon case, the answer is yes, but very snug fit. I personally don’t mind as all works in terms of charging and keeping the pencil secured in place. It’s just I feel this item should be max £15 as opposed to £27!!! The 1 star off is for the price tag.

If you use the Apple Magic Keyboard, you’ll know the Pencil has nowhere to go. This little add-on fixes that neatly. It clips onto the hinge securely and doesn’t get in the way when opening or closing the iPad.The fit is snug, the material feels premium (typical Spigen), and the magnet holds the Pencil well enough for day-to-day movement. It’s subtle, doesn’t ruin the clean iPad look, and just works.It’s one of those tiny accessories that ends up being surprisingly useful.

You pays your money. This is eye wateringly expensive for what it is - but it works really well. I tried the cheaper competitor which didn't work a well.So if you really want an Apple pencil holder that works really well with the Magic Keyboard, grit your teeth and wield your credit card and buy it.It's a very niche product which is probably why it's so pricey. But its great.

Does the job kinda, no real magnetisation to the back of the iPad so if you remove iPad from keyboard case it falls off. Shame as it’s expensive for what it is

This product enables you to attach the Apple Pencil 2 to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 6 and Magic Keyboard which is my preferred case. I was forever dislodging the pencil from the iPad which was irritating. That irritation is now behind me. The pencil is secure, always charged and ready to go. As I never remove the iPad from the Magic Keyboard issues experienced by other users don’t affect me. Price point is always subjective, It’s a matter of exploring what’s available and choosing a solution you’re comfortable with at a price you’re prepared to pay. For me this is a well constructed product that provides a practical solution to an annoying problem Apple failed to address if the Magic Keyboard is your preferred case.

I purchased this accessory to be used with both the Apple Magic Keyboard and the Apple Smart Folio Case. Let’s start with the basics - this is just an insert with very minimal magnetic capability. It will NOT stay in place should you remove your iPad from the case. When tested with the Magic Keyboard it worked Ok - but note that due to this basically being an insert this WILL slide up and down your iPad and potentially damage the back of your device.Secondly, when it comes to the smart folio case, there is no resistance what’s so ever. This thing will slide out the bottom of your iPad and when it comes to the case itself due to the insert the case loses it’s magnetic capability thereby putting your device at risk when you fold the cover over.Spigen customer support was terrible and they simply said just return the item without offering any support or diagnostics. I would AVOID this product at all costs just to the high price and the lack of performance. If you don’t want to damage your iPad then don’t buy this accessory.
