Apple Pencil Lost

[Chupa Chupa]

I lost my 1st pencil somewhere in my house and had to buy another. Wish they could make the pencil beep but it's battery was likely dead.

Better yet: redesign it so that it stores in the iPad case or make some sort of decent, practical clip for it that travels without falling off. This has been the biggest hassle with the Pencil. Mine too is lost somewhere in the house. Can't find it anywhere. But I'm not rewarding Apple for their poor storage design by plunking out another $100. Either I'll find it or wait for Pencil 2. Heck, even Scully's Newton had a place to keep the stylus.

All this losing the pencil angst. If a hundred dollars re-arranges your life--stay away from cars

But I've never misplaced a car. I keep it in the garage so I know where it is. If I'm at an unfamiliar parking deck I take a picture of where I parked.

Mine has a magnetic sleeve for sticking tightly to the ipad bezel, and a nifty cap holder too. View attachment 629712

where did you buy this sleeve?

1. I don't lose personal belongings a lot in my life which makes losing my Apple Pencil barely a month in sting quite a bit. I had it in hand at work, fidgeting with the cap as usual and I don't know where it went after that. It's annoying because I was beginning to treat it like any other pencil I've ever drawn with... which I guess includes the habit of not being able to hang on to any one writing utensil for more than a few weeks at a time.

And it's not like I can just borrow a pencil from whomever's sitting next to me to finish my [digital iPad] drawing. I thought I could get away with carrying around JUST an iPad everywhere I go for all my creative needs without the added space/weight of my drawing notebook, and maybe save a tree here and there (I use up way too much paper). It irks me... in a cosmic sense. And now if it doesn't show up I'll need to go buy another $100 pencil, though I probably wont because you can beat good ol' pen & paper which is almost completely FREE.

I shouldn't be trying to blame my irresponsibility on Apple though. Regular pen & paper has been working for EONS and it's my fault for thinking digital technology was at a reasonable point financially to replace it.

Though as someone currently looking at the prospects of replacing his car with a fully electric vehicle, this serves as a good lesson: wait for the technology to mature before spending large amounts of money on a bundle of compromises. Is my current car in perfect working condition? Yes. Can it get me from SF to LA without making an hour-long stop in the middle to charge it's "fuel?" Yes. Will electric vehicles be in a much better place price/functionality-wise when my current car is ready to croak? Yes. (Sorry environment :/)

Who knows, maybe eventually Apple pencil will be able to operate without a battery, removing the need for charging as well as the lightning port at the end, lowering it's cost and coming in a pack of three for a more reasonable purchase. Or maybe eventually the iPad will be able to do ALL the processing work required for stylus-based input and glass will be so scratch-proof that we'll be able to use whatever pointed utensil we want for drawing! Until then though, Pen & Paper it is.

(sorry for such a ramble)

I'm going to ask the obvious but sometimes that helps. Where is the last place you remembering using it? If in an office it may have slid behind a desk, under a chair, behind a filing cabinet. Don't rule out any place to look. These pencils are great but don't have legs so it didn't run away. I would have thought losing the cap would be easy but not the pencil. I have one with a clip. When you find it you should invest a few dollars to get a clip. It's only used on certain iPads so you might need to check with coworkers and see if one of them magically has pencil with no cap. Not judging your coworkers but sadly in this world today, many people think that everything belongs to everybody!
