I hear you, lol. I should have had you do mine. 🤪 I’m getting my pencil today, but I’m waiting on the skin for it from dBrand. I ordered one from Slickwraps, too, but then afterwards I read that they are notorious for not shipping what you pay for. 🤬
I got my pencil a little while ago! My writing looks like I’ve been drinking all day or something, lol. It’s terrible. Plus, I’m writing on the glass. It’s going to take some getting used to. 😳

As of right now I think I can skip that accessory as I really don’t write much. Kind of using the iPad as a laptop.

Snagged this guy locally for a pretty good deal.
 
Well I finally gave in and upgraded from 10.5 to pro 11 2020. It is updating to 14.0.1 as we speak. I went to BestBuy website and they had ffee overnight delivery, ordered yesterday and received today before I even got off of work. I will be getting a new Pencil on Monday.
Congrats on getting overnight shipping and enjoy your new rig!

Congratulations on your new iPad!! I can’t believe your BB order made it over night and I’ve been waiting since the 18th. 😑 But I’m glad you didn’t have to go through what I did! It’s been a hassle!

I was terrible too and got a matte screen protector on Amazon, but it ate my pencil tip in 3 weeks. I’m trying to figure out a different one before my new one arrives

that’s crazy!!! I guess it depends on where you live. I almost bought an open box but when I changed the zip code, it didn’t let me place the order anymore. Same when I bought this one,it said Monday but when I changed the zip code, it changed back to Friday. And itwas FEDEX.

I have a glass screen protector on mine that I really like. Very good at minimizing fingerprints and smudging, and I don’t notice any color distortion. I don’t really want a film screen protector though. I just kind of bought the pencil on impulse yesterday, and the screen protector has been on my iPad since day one.

Yeah I will probably go back to glass too on the new one. Part of the reason I switched was I’d only used glass on my current 9.7 ipp and the glass would chip really bad around the edges. I was planning to pass it on to my kids once my new one arrived and I didn’t want to worry about them getting shards of glass in their fingers if or when it chipped

What do you plan to use the pencil for now that you have it?
