Get the most out of your Apple Pencil with these cases, grips, and more

The Apple Pencil (first-generation) is the one additional expense I recommend to anyone getting a 10.2-inch iPad or using a previous generation iPad Pro. It's more than a stylus — it's the closest representation to an actual pen or pencil you can use with a tablet. Once you have your very own, you're probably going to want a case, a dedicated charger, and some other cool accessories to go with it. These are the best Apple Pencil (1st Gen) accessories.
Like a real pen
Ztylus Metal Protective Case
Staff Favorite
Make your best iPad stylus feel like a true luxury pencil, complete with that familiar hexagonal grip style of a standard pen, offering a stylish — and functional — way to improve your drawing and writing experience.
Power up simply
TechMatte Apple Pencil Charging Adapter
Charge your Apple Pencil with your iPad but without it having to stick out awkwardly from the Lightning port. This little dongle keeps your Apple Pencil's Lightning plug from accidentally breaking off on your iPad.
Stolen pen clip
Sakura Pigma Micron 05
If you just want to accessorize your Pencil with a clip, consider skipping the expensive "Made for Pencil"-brand accessories and pilfer the clip off of a similar-bodied pen, like the Pigma Micron.
Magnetic attachment
Twelve South PencilSnap | Napa Leather Magnetic Protective Carry Case for Apple Pencil
If you love your iPad's case but curse the fact that it lacks a place for the Pencil, Twelve South has a magnetic sleeve so you can keep it nearby and not worry about losing it.

Pencil dock

This aluminum dock is a perfect addition to your workspace. It holds your pencil vertically and fits around your charging cable nicely. It stops your cord from tangling up and keeps the Pencil in sight.
