All iPads Will the Pencil wear down the finish whilst charging?

[Yr Blues]

Should I get a skin or sleeve for it?

I don't understand the question. Are you referring to the Pencil wearing down the iPad's finish while the Pencil is charing? No. Why would it?

2 hard surfaces rubbing against each other.

But they're not rubbing. The Pencil simply snaps on. Trust me, the finish on the iPad can withstand that, lol!

Been using my Pencil 2 since day one and no problem with finish on iPad or pencil

Yikes! No functionality lost, but I might get a soft sleeve for the Pencil.

Apple Pencil has Scratched side of new iPad Air 4!

I see this is a known issue with iPad Pro but it has happened with my new iPad air. It’s just 2 small scratches on either side of the charging dock. I’ve only had the iPad for just over a month. I have been so, so careful with my device and now I have these scratches just form charging my Apple...

Yes, it's a thing that can SOMETIMES happen. How likely is it to happen to you is anyone's guess. I wrapped my Pencil 1 with woodgrain Con-tact paper... I've had the pencil for nearly 6 years with it and it looks and feels brand new.

But if you want to go the pre-manufactured route, there are skins/sleeves out there for the Pencil 2 that aren't expensive.

Plastic on metal shouldn't really be an issue. Scratches will most likely be caused by debris getting trapped between the two surfaces. Use dbrand skins or something like that if you really want to avoid any chances of that happening.

I might get a silicone sleeve like this, but clear.

Have had it off and on my 2018 12.9 pro since release day and nothing.

If this bothers you, you *might* be just a little bit anal.

The magnets can cause the plating on the iPad’s aluminum to flake off over time. It’s not abrasion, so maybe a skin will help. This is my 3rd Gen iPad Pro.
