Hi,

Thought I’d share the solution to a weird issue I had.

Sometimes when my Apple Pencil would be attached to the iPad it would become unresponsive. The iPad wouldn’t recognise it and only after half an hour or longer the Pencil would become alive again.

I looked all over internet for a solution, but no luck.

I had already booked an appointment at the Apple Store when by coincidence the third party case came off and the Pencil imminently woke up and connected.

I was able to reproduce this behaviour since and had not to wait for the Pencil to reconnect again.

Case in question:

Several reviews on Amazon says this case interferes with pencil charging too. Magnet too strong?
