The official 9.7-inch iPad Pro cases don't include any way to carry the Apple Pencil and the smaller iPad Pro together without worrying about losing the pencil.

There is a small carrying area to store the pencil while you go somewhere with the iPad Pro, and there is also an inkwell spot to place the Apple pencil while you are switching between using it and using a keyboard.

In addition to carrying the Apple Pencil, this case protects the front and back of the iPad Pro while allowing you to use the iPad in a variety of positions. The pencil holder makes this slightly wider than other cases.

    This is a great review of potential iPad Pro cases. It’s interesting that only a couple have built in a way of securing the Apple Pencil. There’s a great little accessory called PencilMate which attaches the Apple Pencil to the iPad Pro which I’m using at the moment. It works with a couple of these cases too. It will be interesting to see what other case designs accommodate the Apple Pencil in the future.

    Be aware… screen sleep/awake function will not work on initial batches of production. This feature will be added on in later release.

    I bought the Smart Cover and base. Pro 9.7 I wish Apple had made a smart case like previous models. The two combined are very expensive and I found it disappointing. I do love the smart case which is why I went for both covers. The stand is always collapsing on me. I maybe should have taken it back but didn’t, now I’m sorry. I will keep using it until I find an equivalent, but just feel Apple have ripped people off here making two separate pieces. So just a warning. It could very well be I just got a dud, but not game enough to try again, yet I love the Apple smart case. Hope they review this.

    I have a leather case from Strotter for my 9.7 Ipad Pro. Very different from the rest. Awesome but expensive. Made in italy.

    It does not have the auto on/off thing though, no biggie for me.
