Summary

After my recent purchase of an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, I wanted something to protect the Pencil when I threw it in my bag. I am finding that I really like using small magnets in my designs, so I gave this a magnetic closure.

The inside has a cone shape toward the bottom that hits just above the Pencil tip so there isn't any unneeded stress on the most sensitive portion. See the cross section screenshot in the images above. The design allows a very minor amount of movement inside.

I used qty [2] of these 5mm x 1mm magnets. Press them firmly into the holes in the cap and holder. I did add a bit of gorilla glue gel to make sure they stayed permanently. These magnets are strong enough to hold the lid shut when shaking it upside down.

The snap-fit cap hinge is loose enough that it should snap in fairly easily while not falling out during normal use.
