This case has a built-in slot to keep the Apple Pencil in. The pencil case is ultra slim and consists of a soft TPU back cover and a magnetic front cover. It is crafted to provide full protection for the tablet and the pencil. The TPU back ensures that the case does not easily break if dropped and protects the tablet better than a case with a hard back against bumps, drops, and scratches. The slim, foldable front cover with microfiber lining is magnetic and supports the auto wake/sleep function, as well as offering two stand modes.
