This product has a very good quality, the packaging came very tightly closed. I have an ipad 9.7 (6th gen), the pairing was a little strange, because with the case present in the ipad did not work, I had to remove the case, but after that worked. I really liked the product and recommend.

Love the Apple Pencil! Sometimes the pencil has some connectivity issues in the middle of use, but as a whole it’s great! I would recommend getting a cap for the end with the usb c charger because the cap that comes with it has a tendency to come off.

I really enjoy my Apple Pencil. I was a little skeptical at first because I've already had gone through three different types of stylus. I decided to give the Apple Pencil a try and I love it. I will say that if you aren't a serious drawer or student who takes notes then I would look else where for less pricey stylus. I take notes every single day and this pencil is amazing. Connecting it to my iPad Pro is extremely simple, and the writing is way better than the other stylus' I've used.

This very fancy, rather costly tool is worth every penny I paid. It works well, charges quickly and pairs easily to my recently purchase iPad Pro. It only works with the Pro, by the way. My young students use it to work on the tablet and it is significantly easier for their young coordination to manipulate than their fingers or even my other high-quality stylus tools, and I have come to depend on it with apps that use handwriting recognition. If you do a lot of that, prefer to manually take notes or like to doodle in graphics apps, I highly recommend it. I did try it out at the store a number of times before finally deciding to get it. I also encourage you to do the same. If you only occasionally dabble, it might not be a good investment. I have saved myself a lot of time not having to re-draw something that I used to "fat-finger" and botch up then have to re-do. It's been very useful and I'm really pleased with it so far. Tip: if young children are using it for writing or drawing, you may wish to consider sliding a squishy pencil grip on it. It has very smooth barrel; I leave it on for my own purposes and it helps keep the pencil in it's place during storage.

I was really wondering if this purchase would be worth it. After using it for a while now, I have really found a benefit. It has made it a lot easier for me to navigate not only on the iPad but also on my virtual desktop that I access through my iPad. I'm able to function more effectively on the go and it also draws pretty well :-)

We bought this one for writing purpose, hey its a Pen, instead of using our fingers, does the job very well, lots of compatible programs...
The only draw back is the charging port and the cap, we already lost it, I know there is a v2 of this, so its a reminder for who ever wants this one

I wasn’t so sure I’d like it but really want one, turns out I love it and use it all the time. It’s nothing like a regular stylus, it’s sooooo much better. When I write with it it’s smooth, glides and looks like my real handwriting. I also use it to scroll all the time, I didn’t think I would but it’s so comfortable.

So, it took me a while to even consider wanting an Apple pencil. It wasn't until I received it as a gift, which I actually used it first hand. All I can say is that I love it! I use it to sketch and for those adult coloring book apps. I'm impressed with the apps and how accurate and realistic the pencil feels on my iPad.

I have found this little gem wonderful for daily use. I have many spreadsheets and items to edit on webpages and don't have the daintiest of fingers. This little guy allows me to select and edit with ease instead of being frustrated trying to precision touch with my fingers. Also fun to just doodle on in notes and other art apps.

I feel the pencil is worth the price, I'm a person who enjoys customization and I enjoy that there are a lot of products out there for exactly that. The pencil writes smoothly when taking notes as well as drawing on my IPad and feels great in my hand. It charges within minutes and will last me more than 12 hours with constant use.
My only complaint is that eventually, the magnetic cap doesn't feel as secure so I'd suggest getting other caps from Amazon.

I love the Apple Pencil. I was getting shooting pains in my fingers and hand from being on my I pad. The pencil was a gift and I am so happy with it. It is easy to use and helps immensely with the arthritis in my fingers!

Luv this pencil. I am always using it. Battery life is pretty good. ONLY complaint is that when the battery gets low, my iPad sometimes doesn't react to the pencil, but I think that might be part pencil, part plastic cover on my iPad. MUST GET! Cant imagine not using it. PERFECT for taking notes, and on certain games.

I have enjoyed using my Apple Pencil to make notes on music and to mark my music for returns, skips , etc. I highly recommend the Apple Pencil to anyone who wants to makes notes on IPad documents. It’s very easy to charge it. You can just plug it into your IPad for charging.

I love the Apple Pencil! It’s odd I’m only able to get this generation for my mini 5 and not the 2nd gen but oh well. I def recommend the sleeve that sticks on the case, helps not lose it. I wish it worked on my phone!

I enjoy using my Pencil mostly for handwriting in the margins of e-books. I find it particularly handy for taking notes in Japanese. I do wish the tip was maybe softer? I can hear the sound of it tapping the screen while I'm writing and I wish I couldn't. I haven't tried the new version so perhaps this has been resolved. I do really like being able to charge it off my iPad. I find the little adapter it comes with a bit fiddly.
