Hey everyone!

I’m looking for some sort of thin magnetic/adhesive flap to secure the Apple Pencil 2 on a Magic Keyboard/Smart Keyboard Folio

I really like how Logitech has one on their Folio Touch, even how it includes a little loop inside to hold the Pencil so it doesnt have to magnetically docked to the iPad Pro/Air (suppose you take the iPad out of the MK/SKF and don’t need the Pencil)

Any finds would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!

I have been using this now for a couple of months on my iPad Pro Oxford leather case. When not in use it’s completely lies flat.
Thanks for this recommendation - I already have this and it works pretty well! Although I’m just looking for the same feature of the Logitech case that I can add on to Apple’s keyboard cases

You can get a pen loop like how the Surface keyboards come with an adhesive loop to adhere to the keyboard.

Yep I have this as well! Haha, I’ve tried a few methods for a secondary way to store the Apple Pencil already, but I’m specifically looking a logitech-type flap for a specific purpose.

The simple pen loop is the best so far, it has a little neat advantage: I have it on the keyboard-side of the SKF, so that when the pencil is not in there, it acts as a pull tab to open the case. (pic below) I also tried the Ringke Pen sleeve, but it was too tight and a little cumbersome getting the pen in and out.

Thanks to everyone so far with their suggestions!

The reason the Logitech flap looks like a better alternative for me, is because it can securely hold the pencil when I’m taking the iPad around, especially when its going in and out of a bag frequently. When the pencil is in the loop, sometimes the pencil gets twisted (pic below) and when its being taken or in/out of a bag, the pencil gets snagged and adhesive detaches from the case:

I use that with my Mini 5. I have two smartcovers... one with with that sleeve, the other without it... because sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't. :)
