For those with the iPad Pro and the Pencil, what do you use for propping the iPP when drawing?

I currently am using the ASK, but I notice if I push with any force, sometimes it collapses on me. I had a Logitech Create, and the drawing angle was terrible when collapsed. The Smart Cover was decent.

Just wondering what everyone else uses when they draw.
 
I bought a cheap imitation smart case on Amazon that works like apples Smart Cover + silicone case in one. I find the 30 degree angle adequate, or otherwise will just remove it from the case if I need to shift it around a lot.

I'm just debating if I should get something else specifically for drawing. The ASK in drawing angle isn't bad, but like I said, if I put any substantial pressure on it, it collapses, which is really annoying.
 
Really depends on your preference when drawing, myself.. I prefer to hold in my hands like a sketchbook and use an imitation all in one Smart Case from Amazon (love by the way). I just fold over the Smart Cover and hold in my hands/arms.

If you prefer drawing at an angle with your IPP on a surface, then I'd look at the various stands on Amazon and see if something catches your eye.
 
What about a wrist rest, the kind they have for using with keyboards? It looks to me like many of those could prop the iPad at the desirable angle for drawing.

I would say the Smart Cover in the low position is probably good for drawing

That Parcslope is definitely nice. Looks sturdy. And I like the ridge for holding the Pencil.
