Okay, let's talk about this pink silicone sleeve for my Apple Pencil 2nd gen. First impression? Adorable. The pastel pink color instantly made my workspace look cuter, and the pencil-like design gets constant compliments during meetings.
The silicone feels surprisingly premium - not that cheap rubbery texture I expected. It's got just enough thickness to cushion accidental drops (tested twice... oops) while remaining slim enough for wireless charging. The magnet strength shocked me - stays firmly attached to my iPad Pro 12.9" even with the case on.
Now the not-so-fun part: installation was a STRUGGLE. Like other reviewers mentioned, I had to use baby oil for the final quarter inch. Pro tip: roll it on like a condom rather than pushing straight down. Once it's on though? Perfect fit that doesn't interfere with double-tap functions.
Major bonus: The included retro cap actually stays put! No more losing that tiny original cap in my bag. Though fair warning - if your iPad case has a tight pencil holder slot, this might make it too bulky to fit.
After two weeks of use, I'm buying the black version too. Despite the tricky installation, the protection and style upgrade makes this worth it for anyone who uses their Apple Pencil daily.
