Which of the best cases for Apple Pencil 2 is right for you?

Which case you'll choose really depends on the function you wish it to serve. If you want a place to put your Apple Pencil 2 while you're not using it, consider the Decoded Leather Magnetic Pencil Sleeve for Apple Pencil. Its classy looks only add to the Apple Pencil 2's appeal. If you use a Smart Cover or similar iPad case, it has the added benefit of sticking to the case magnetically.

However, if you want something that carries more than just the Apple Pencil, I'd go for the AGPTEK Case Holder for Apple Pencil 2. It'll organize and protect all of your tiny essentials that could easily get lost or damaged in a larger bag, briefcase, or purse.

While some of these will also work for the OG Apple Pencil, we've got a whole other list for you if you're looking for the best Apple Pencil case for your first-generation Apple Pencil. Whichever case you use, you'll rest easy knowing you're protecting your investment.
