Welcome to our guide to the best Apple Pencil cases! The Apple Pencil is a fantastic tool for any iPad user. It allows for easy note-taking, the ability to make gorgeous artwork and makes browsing your tablet easy. But keeping such a small accessory secure and protected can be worrying, especially when you consider how pricey the iPad stylus is.
Whilst the newer Apple Pencil 2 features magnetic connection to snap on and off the later iPads, there are many reasons you may want the best Apple Pencil case. Maybe you own an older generation Apple Pencil or prefer using a third-party stylus. Maybe your tablet has a case that doesn't fit your pencil on the side. Whatever the case (hah, get it?) may be, check out our below list to find a case that will safely store your Apple Pencil!
