I just bought the Air 3 with the Apple Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil. However, it is my understanding that the ASK does not protect the back of the iPad.

So I'm looking for something that will protect the iPad while allowing the ASK and have some way of attching the pencil so it doesn't get lost.

Or do you think just having the ASK on is enough protection? If so, fine, but I still need some way to keep the pencil near the iPad - what is your solution?

TIA!

Hi. I’ve found the Khomo iPad Pro 10.5 & Air 3 companion cover to be awesome solution for rear. protection of my IPP 10.5, works with the Air 3 2019

I also use this pencil holder that attaches to the middle section of the ASK cover with 3M adhesive. Just make sure you attach to portion of the keyboard cover that folds up and out of the way (see photo attached)

Lastly, I’d recommend getting the Fintie accessory that will keep your charge adapter and rear cap from being lost. Well worth the 5 bucks

I spent about 25 dollars on these and have so far been very pleased with their usefulness.
