Not a fan of the Apple 2 Pencil, but at least this makes it look more fun. 🤷‍♂️

Apple needs to remember the "fun" in computing again. Their designs have become far too conservative. Sure, you can add fun cases and do things like ColorWare, but the old colourful iMac and iBook Apple is missing in action.

All my life, I never knew what "HB" stood for.

"Hard" and "Black".

What Is An HB Pencil? – Pens Guide

Introduction Have you ever looked at the two letters HB inscribed on your pencil and wondered, what is HB pencil? These letters are seen everywhere, across various brands, so what do they mean? The letters HB on a pencil stand for “Hard” and “Black,” meaning that the graphite is hard the color...

But doesn’t this coat of paint make the Pencil even more slippery in hand?
At least with a silicone sleeve, it adds much needed grip.

Credit for that one--very fun idea, and looks to be very nicely executed.

Too bad it is a limited edition. Even though it is much more expensive, it looks very good.

Awesome. I would like to win this very much.

This is the first coloring option I would have considered - unfortunately pencil 3 is around the corner

Different commenter. My iPad Air (M1) battery drops quickly when using the Apple Pencil 2 in Notes. What the other commenter said is largely accurate about battery life in my experience. I can maybe get a couple hours of use before needing to charge the iPad. In some drawing apps I've tested though, the battery lasts much longer.

thank you for adding your voice about this issue.

i suspect the bug is in the apple code responsible for handling handwriting.
that would explain why some other apps using their own way of handling the pencil would provide longer usage possibility. for what it's worth, i also tried to create a DIY makeshift pencil (tutorial on youtube, but basicaly: a ear cleaner, a piece of tinfoil sheet, and moisture (water)), i turned off bluetooth, and tested writing with it in notes.app. the results were similar about ipad battery being drained fast. and also the annoying automatic shapes was also still there unfortunately. i so want an option to disable that..

Nice! Now give us an iPhone Pro Max that supports the Apple Pencil.

Yeah, I don't think Colorware can do that.

I have liked Colorware for years. They do really good work. I miss their Apple employee discount.

It also doesn't look even close to as good

I like it, but I’d find that the constant reminded that the reverse end of Apple Pencil doesn’t have eraser functionality would be annoying. Why, Apple?

“When i look back… i just think it looks terrible, even worse than i knew”

I feel the exact same way. I was just reading an article on skeuomorphism and cringing at the old iOS. Compass, voice memo, the books app and Notes were some of the worst offenders.

I’ve never once felt compelled to take advantage of Apple’s free engraving when placing an online order. The lone exception being my Pencil 2. I couldn’t resist.

That said, ColorWare’s spin is super fun.

Ugh that’s so clever. Not being sarcastic btw I really do genuinely like this idea haha when I was about to buy my AP2 I was trying to think of something fun to have engraved on it and I didn’t come up with anything besides my name and that was about it 😅

ZAGG did another take on the No 2 pencil with their latest stylus. It makes my iPad Pro 12 setup stand out.

Somebody will sharpen it sooner or later.

My kids totally would do that my accident.
