I purchased
this neoprene pencil skin and it keeps the end cap from being lost. Apple really pisses me off with their form over function designs. I needed a thicker less slippery pencil, so I had to get the skin. The AP2 is an even worse design IMO. It is designed to be used without a skin along with the iPad Pro with no case. I have never had an iPad or iPhone that wasn't immediately placed in a good Otterbox case to spend its life. I could not care less what the iPad or AP looks like, I’m more concerned with what I can do with them.
