The Grip for Apple Pencil Pro, 1st /2nd Gen Apple Pencil, and USB-C model // More Comfort. Better Control.

tl;dr works well, comfortable, perfect.I’ve struggled my entire life writing with pens and pencils. Even with proper posture and hand grip, my forearm begins to burn immediately. In-class writing assignments were a nightmare.I really wanted to use Apple Pencil, but it was a struggle. I tried multiple grips on the market and gave up. The Pencil was docked on my iPad for a year. Why did I even buy it?Frustrated, I looked for user suggestions and several raved about The Pro-Draw Grip for Apple Pencil. I was unsure after reading reviews, but was desperate for a solution.Let me tell you, I feel NO PAIN in my hand, wrist, forearm, and shoulder when I use the Pencil with this Grip. No burning, no tingling from Carpal Tunnel. Nothing. Just really comfortably positioned pencil, comfortable to grip, and putting it on and off is quick and easy.Yes, this is a thick grip. Small-sized gloves are usually too long for me, yet this grip is the perfect size. In the first photo, you can see how I use it “backwards” (with the thicker side toward the front of the pencil). I line up the opening so it is even with the flat side of the pencil.The second photo shows the other side of the pencil with grip. The third photo is zoomed in to show the “dimple” that is on each side of the grip. This is where I place my thumb.The quality of the material is great and the appearance is sleek. I’m not sure how many years the grip’s material can withstand being put on and removed from the pencil.The only con would be storage of the grip when not in use. I recommend this grip.

I am an artist, and have RA. I use assistive devices on my regular pens, pencils, and brushes, but was looking for something a little nicer for this pen.I looked at a lot and most were very similar or honestly exactly the same as what I use on my traditional tools- the issue is the pen is already heavy, so the ones I use that sit just where my fingers went weren’t working as the amount of pressure I had to use due to the balance issue sort of cancelled out any benefitsI searched and found something that pretty much covers the entire pen, but with some great featuresI found it on Amazon- it was about $15 after I spent $2 extra to get it faster. It may seem expensive, but it’s the only full pen size I could find so I suppose supply and demand (basic economics) comes into playAs you can see, if you use it this way is has a nicely sloped cut-out for using the double tap and squeeze feature of the penThe whole side has a cut out but the grip still stays on the pen nicely, and if you turn the pen the charging side is available without needing to remove it(and don’t have a cover - I took mine off to show you)You can turn it around so the fatter end is at your fingers for folks who have grip strength or movement issues like I do, I can’t use the double tap or squeeze feature this way, but I couldn’t use them anyway due to my limitations.All in all I think this is a great assistive device and might generally improve comfort even for folks without disabilities- it stays on tight but it’s easy to remove , it’s adjustable for different grips, and it’s not really too expensive for all the great features- I love that it fits the whole pen so there’s no introduced balance problems - over all a great tool

Figuring out how to orient the grip to my hands (i.e. where to place my thumb and other fingers) took some trial and error - maybe I'm just a little slow lol, but it was a little less intuitive than some other grips I've tried. I find that it's quite large but that has its benefits. I have pretty medium size hands and would say the fatter end is a little too big while the thinner end is a little too small for my own preferences...but the bigger end is easier to hold when my wrist starts getting sore from drawing/writing.The other issue I have with it is it is a pet hair magnet! Within an hour of taking it out of the package, it was covered in cat hair. Like other silicone stuff, it's tough to get the hair off too.Overall 4/5, not perfect but it'll do and for $12 I'm glad I took the chance. I expect for men with larger hands this might be more comfortable, but even for my (not even particularly small) female hands I find it is still more comfortable than without a grip, and actually more comfortable than those really thin rubber grips you can get packs of like four for $6 or whatever on here for, since it offers more of an ergonomic grip.

I ordered this grip and a slightly cheaper pack of 5 assorted variety grips on Amazon to finally try to figure out if there was a comfortable way to hold the pencil for drawing. I tried holding it a few different ways but ultimately found the bigger end to be my vastly preferred way to hold it.I’ve been drawing on my iPad a TON recently and the for me the Apple Pencil just as it is by itself, quite hard hard to feel comfortable using for drawing and I was struggling with it more and more and honestly getting frustrated recently. So I went to see if there was anything that could remedy this discomfort and voila this grip solved all my issues and more!Not only does it make the pencil SO MUCH more comfortable to use for drawing but it makes it easier to draw itself as I’m able to manipulate the pencil with more dexterity and control now so when I draw I get straighter lines and better flow. I didn’t even think of this being possible simply by finding a perfect grip for it!This grip in a second changed my entire experience with drawing on my iPad and I’m so dang happy about finding it. 😭Last thoughts on it are that the price is very good for its quality and design. The design having the slit on one side is so dang nice for getting it in and on instantly and for adjusting it in any way you may need in no time at all. Also because of the slit, taking it off to charge on my iPad is never an issue/annoying because it’s removes like butter!!I guess the only thing I could ask for would be more color options!! I’d love to get it in a couple fun colors!
