Looks a lot like what I designed and 3d printed in rubber back in November

I'm sure Apple thought about it at great lengths. Thinking about it and wanting to use that sort of design are two different things however. I'd prefer if it was attached on a nice hinge like the zippo lighter example someone posted but it wasn't to be.I could be wrong but I feel like Apple of old would have thought of this when introducing the pencil. As long as we've been losing pen caps one could be forgiven for thinking it would have occurred to Apple.
Something else occurred to me. Pens typically have caps, not pencils. Ive just does things his own way, convention be damned.
What I find really stupid about all this is that Apple failed to figure out a way to store the pencil IN the iPad, in a similar way my Note5 stores its stylus. Nice and clean and elegant. Click in, click out.
Instead, they gave the iPad a dingaling while charging, a cap on the Pencil you can lose, and a Pencil you can misplace.
Like Steve said about Styluses: Yuck!
huh? I think you're missing the point dude. If apple built the pencil slot into the ipad, wouldn't the pencil be included? why make a slot for it and then make customers pay for the item designed for that slot. Makes no sense to me. Its simple, it would be included.So you want a permanent hole in the iPad Pro for the Pencil that is an accessory? What about the iPad Pro owners who don't wish to buy the Pencil? They would have an useless hole in their iPad for a Pencil they don't want/need.
The Pencil can somewhat clip magnetically to the iPad if you have the Smart Cover.
So starting price of the iPad Pro another $100 higher?huh? I think you're missing the point dude.

Sorta dense thinking.I remember when when Steve Jobs said:
"Who wants a stylus?"
Steve also complained about the fact that you have to worry to not lose it.
Now, we have two worries:
- losing the stylus
- losing the cap
All for the "fair" price of 99$
Unlike most of the junk after-market I see on MR often, this actually does serve a purpose.
$8? Inexpensive? It's a tiny piece of rubber! I feel like it's the kind of product that would be sold at a dollar store... Like the idea, but I wouldn't pay over $2 for that.
