the magnet on the edge of Smart Cover that makes it stay closed (or not flapping around much when it is open) can hold the Pencil in place.
Got a tip for us?

That's handy, you got any pics of this? Is it easy to knock off the pen by accident though? Worried that as it's only being held by a magnet it will come off easily
It does, although it's nothing I'd trust carrying around constantly. Tried it and it fell off within seconds.
I tend to store it just as I would any other pencil: in my bag for long term or my pocket short term.

I am glad I went with a back case that came with a spot of the Apple Pencil, if it had to go in the bag or pocket I would lose it for sure. This way I always put it away. Since I put a little rubber part on to help hold the cap, it does not really stick well to the Smart Cover. Cool that it can though.
Yes, I can't trust it to carry around. So, I ordered this and will see soon;

Update us after, because I'm thinking a case with a spot for Apple pencil might be a better pick..

I know the item... I mean how well does it hold in the smart cover and back of the device
