So with my iPad Pro 12.9, I have the Apple Keyboard as well. There is no good method of carrying the pencil. What do others do? I see Apple has the sleeves for the pencils but it doesn’t help keeping the pencil with the iPad. Suggestions are appreciated. By the way, is that pencil sleeve worth it?

I use the Moxiware magnetic sleeve for the Apple Pencil. The magnet is strong enough to stick to the outside of my Apple Smart Keyboard while transporting it from my office to conference room, or around the house. And when I'm using the iPad, the Pencil sticks to the top bezel on the screen for easy access.

I bought an iPad Pro 10.5 leather case on Amazon. Looks just like the apple version with a holder for the pencil at the top. Costs $15, works great.
 
Bought a cheap notepad “adhesive” fabric loop that holds the pencil on top of the ASK. I was worried the adhesive would fall off after a few months but it has worked out wonderfully.

I was thinking about getting a refub and looked into some accessories. Found this and it works w/ the keyboard. I need a holder that is attached to the case/iPad or else I'd just lose it!

I have this same backing for my IPP 9.7 and 12.9

This is what I do around the house. When I transport it, I use a sleeve that the pencil goes in along with the iPad, but I do have to take the magnetic sleeve off.
 
I have this cheap laptop/tablet sleeve I got from Walmart. Keeps the iPad safe and there’s a front zipper compartment for the pencil. Cheap and perfect.
 
looks like people on this thread are using third party solutions to carrying the apple pencil. Each solution is much less expensive than apple's branded products.
Saving money is not a crime.
