MoKo Retractable Holder Case for Apple Pencil 1st Generation, Pink

If you use an Apple Pencil you must purchase this. I truly believe this is how Apple Pencils should have been designed. I’m a tattoo artist meaning my busy hands are my $$$ makers- and therefore need to be taken care of! In addition to helping my hands, it protects the pencil and allows for easy & versatile storage. The slim design of the Apple Pencil caused me hand cramps after hours of clutching it everyday. I tried making grips out of towels/sensi wrap and purchased grips and cases in efforts to increase the girth so my hand could get a break from the constant death grip. They were all ineffective to say the least. This case even stabilizes the pencil so it’s not floating inside, allowing clean lines. It added enough circumference to allow my hand to relax without being so big that it was either too heavy or was inconvenient to store/travel. The “stem?”-clip? that is on the side of the case is perfect for my iPad case. (It’s a fold cover with an elastic band to keep it closed) I store my pen on the edge of my iPad under the elastic band with the “stem” on top and it is very secure and out of the way. I would imagine multiple case styles could work with storing this design. I saved my favorite feature for last: the protection. I’m baffled that a company as design-orientated as Apple designed this stylus. Did they not consider the “lifestyle” this pencil would have? Within the first week of purchasing the $100 device, I lost the ridiculously designed weakest magnetic cap to the Apple Pencil. Shortly after, the newly exposed charging-end broke literally off the pencil. The connection of the metal band to the white plastic on the top was salvageable with some tape and glue and the wires inside were all intact so the pencil still functioned normally. At this point, I just had to be careful when charging and removing the pencil from the charger. (Prop the end up so it was perpendicular to the iPad to relieve tension on the weak point, and push the pencil out of the charger with my nail to eject it from the port itself to prevent the wires coming out of the pencil) BUT THEN I GOT THIS CASE AND IT SOLVED ALL OF MY PROBLEMS!! This case not only provided a SCREW ON END CAP to protect my charger but the inside chamber that stabilized the pencil also tightly grips and supports the part of my pencil that broke; keeping the metal end and plastic body secure and sturdy. (Plus a retractable tip for your nib!) This inexpensive case has extended the life of my busted @$§ Apple Pencil for over a year with no complications and is still going strong. I’ve waited so long to review this product because I knew I would get too excited and take two hours to write an essay about a stylus case; but that procrastination has made my review even more credible. I’ve used this product for over a year now and I’m still just as excited as I was when I first put it on my pencil. Not only did it solve every problem that I had with the original design but it made my pencil so cute (I got the pink one, it’s a very nice pastel shade, with A subtle mauve undertone for a more “sophisticated” pastel) I’m aware that I took this review too seriously; but seeing as I am holding/using this device even more than my tattoo machine and that my career is dependent on the health and ability of my hands, it is very important to me. I want to kiss the designer of this case and reccomend it to every artist in search of the right case. I hope that the thouroughness of my review will help anyone in need decide whether or not this will be a good fit for them. If I was being a nit-pick I would say there’s only two teeny tiny con’s with the design. And I mean so small I almost wasn’t going to include it but I’m here to be diligent in my review. The first is that I still have to prop the tip of the pencil when charging. Naturally, due to the added weight the pencil won’t lay perpendicular to the device when charging. Second is that while charging, there isn’t a designated spot to attach the unscrewed cap so it has a higher potential to either get misplaced or lost. Depending on the surface, I can sometimes use the end cap to prop the tip of the pencil up during charging however, the cylindrical shape of the cap causes it to sometimes roll away and isn’t stable enough for all surfaces. I’ve also tried “clipping” it inside of the “stem/clip” I mentioned before and it works but only if I bend the plastic back a little bit to allow the “tooth” to slide past the threading on the cap. I don’t like to do this due to the risk of the clip breaking as it’s not designed to bend that direction. This clip’s function is to retract the pen so I don’t want to break it. I think If one side of the end cap was flattened out or if the shape of the cap was cut differently to double as a stand for the tip of the pencil while charging. Perhaps with different ways to lay it to accommodate different surfaces and distance from pencil-surface depending on the case of the iPad. Regardless, these are just nuisances. I whole heartedly scream my reccomendation from the rooftops: BUY THIS CASE!

Great purchase! Larger than expected but I love it. Apple Pencil fit perfectly. Fast delivery

I had to return because for me it wasn't a good fit, I have smaller hands and it was a little thicker and weighted top heavier than expected, but my bf absolutely loved it (sadly it's not for him though lol). I loved the design and it being completely covered with the pen click, super cool design. Just sadly was too heavy for me.

Super cute, i could use my pen longer with this single it’s thick and I don’t have to stretch my hand as much. Super easy to put pen in and charge it too!

I love my MoKo case on my apple pen. It really changed the way I write on my iPad! It was a great price, it fits perfectly, it’s lightweight, and a beautiful pink color like the rest of my tech stuff! It doesn’t hurt my hand to hold it and charging my Apple Pencil is super easy!

Someone else commented that they think it relieves hand cramps due to small pens. However, I think I have a bit of the opposite problem. I felt that this pen was almost too big and bulky. After using it for weeks I decided to take it off and it was so much easier to write. It makes me wonder why I bothered purchasing this in the first place. It's not heavy, per se, but it is heavier than the Apple Pencil itself, of course. And for tiny muscles like that of the hand and wrist, it doesn't take that much extra weight for long-term use to cause issues. The case was not difficult to put on. It fit snug onto the pencil, but I had no issue with scratching. If you align the click mechanism wrong, you could hypothetically eject your Pencil by accident, as others have reported. But that's not a problem if you are careful with your $100 Apple Pencil? I fidget a decent amount so I was constantly clicking it open and closed but it didn't break. To charge I just untwisted the cap, removed the official Pencil cap, then just made sure to carefully push down on the tip while putting it on the charger. Not difficult. You don't have to take it completely apart to charge. I don't personally believe I need major protection for my Apple Pencil. I am not constantly traveling with my iPad Pro and when I do put it in my bag, I don't just throw it in there (it was $700 after all). I put it in the sleeve pocket with my Macbook Pro, so it's not jostling around. If your bag doesn't have a sleeve pocket or you put your Pencil in a pencil case, then protection might be an important consideration for you. I think I will try a grip instead, though, because the Pencil is slippery. The larger size of the case helped with that a bit, but didn't really solve the problem, as my hand still slipped a bit with the case on, just not as much.

Fits and works perfectly, read the instructions, cap will fly off if not secured, don’t take it apart just push the pencil in.

I've been looking for something like the grip on a Dr. Grip pen, to help my carpal-ish wrists, and haven't been able to find that anywhere. So I tried this for my 1st-gen Pencil because of the click-retraction scheme, which does work perfectly for me (you press the clip down rather than push the pen cap; it's best if you hold own thumb over the cap when you do it, though, as the spring is very powerful; plus, taking care of the spring will likely make it last much longer). It's a little tricky opening the case to get inside: you have to push a pin (included) into a slot under the clip, and it's not obvious where inside the slot you should push. But I've been able to do it twice so far (once to put the Pencil in and one to get it out to measure it–see below), and neither instance took me more than half a minute. The inside of the case fits the Pencil perfectly. It's not a rubber thing that takes you half-an-hour to get the Pencil into, just a plastic slip that's perfectly sized. Really, once you get the pin to work, the rest is very quick and easy. As the case's diameter was a bit larger than I was anticipating, I decided to do some measurements with a pair of calipers I own. Here are the diameters of some other writing implements for comparison: 7 mm : 'regular' wooden, hexagonal pencil (flat edge to opposite flat edge) 9 mm : APPLE PENCIL 10.5 - 11 mm : Supernote (basic) pen 11.75 mm : 'regular' Sharpie (fine point model) 12.5 mm : Dr. Grip pen 14.5 - 15.5 mm. : THIS CASE 17.5 - 18.5 mm. : regular highlighter [The variations on some are due to the fact that some of the shafts taper, and people differ in the distance from the tip where they feel comfortable gripping, so I provide the mins and maxes–smaller values are always closer to the tip.] So this case is somewhere between a Dr. Grip pen and a highlighter. For me, the Pencil by itself and this case lie pretty much equally far apart from my ideal, the Dr. Grip. This case is smooth, hard plastic, like the Pencil, so there's no extra grip provided. The Pencil didn't really feel too narrow for me, and this case doesn't really feel too wide for me, so I'll stick with the case because it's probably better for my wrist if I err in the larger direction rather than the smaller one.

Ürünü kullanıyorum. Gerçekten eskisi gibi elim acımıyor yazı yazarken çok rahat ettim.

J ai acheté la housse de protection et la housse de transport avec le stylet mais je n ai vu nul part qu il était vendu sans mine

Una idea simpatica ma dopo qualche mese d'utilizzo ha iniziato a dar problemi, addirittura facendo partire la penna fuori dalla cover, da lavorarci ma carina.

Me encantó. Es muy resistente y protege bien la punta del lápiz. Estaba preocupada de que fuera muy pesado pero es cómodo para escribir.

I was definitely expecting a bulky grip, but this is way beyond what i had expected. That's partly on me, I should have looked close at the videos showcasing the product. It's still comically big though. It did work as described!
