Black Stripe Design Wrapping Matte Vinyl Skin for Apple Pencil 2nd and Apple Pencil Pro, 2 Units Include (Black Stripe, S-08)

This yellow stripe vinyl skin for the Apple Pencil Pro is fantastic! It was super easy to apply, especially with the included alcohol wipe to prep the surface. The fit is perfect, and it sticks down smoothly without peeling. If you're worried about messing up the first try, don't be—it comes with a second decal, which is a nice bonus.Once applied, the skin looks sleek and pairs beautifully with a black replacement nib for a "real pencil" look. Beyond looks, it offers solid scratch and dirt protection, keeping my Apple Pencil in great shape. I was happy that both charging and gesture controls still work flawlessly with the skin on.For anyone unsure about the installation process, the product page includes a helpful video tutorial, which makes it even easier to get a professional-looking finish.

Item does work as described - just make sure to follow the application instructions carefully. I would recommend that you watch it a couple times to get comfortable. Does not change any of the apple pencil's original functionality. While there is a little bit of a feel of the sticker where it slightly overlaps, it never bothered me as it was on the opposite side of the pencil. Above all, it looks great and people are actually tricked that it was an actual pencil. I replaced the tips with a black one for extra effect. Will buy again in the future if ever I replace my apple pencil.

Installation wasn't too difficult, though I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the "STANDARD" face to 100% line up with the flat side of the pencil. It would be nice if the installation video was available in English. I was happy to see they included 2 stickers, so if you mess up the first one you have another try (or if you're lucky, you can have it on 2 pencils). Better coverage on the eraser tip would have been nice, though it's possible my installation wasn't 100% precise.

The instructions include a QR code to a YouTube video, and as long as you follow every single step of that video it should be a perfect (or near perfect) install. Sort of found this skin easier to install than the leading skin/wrap brand that's ran by the rude bots that most online celebrities advertise for (I like them also, so not saying they're bad, just that I found this install to be easier and I didn't have to wait a week+ thanks to Prime). The only suggestions that I would make that the install video didn't - 1) don't use a cleaning cloth as shown in the video unless you want dust bunnies under the wrap and don't use the included alcohol wipes. The included wipes smell really good, so I don't think they're pure alcohol, and using isopropyl alcohol is pretty important to completely clean the Apple Pencil and ensure the wrap sticks. 2) when starting to wrap the main part, role the Pencil unto the wrap slowly instead of placing it on the wrap; this way you ensure that it's aligned properly. 3) the eraser - on the video they have you stick the top part of the pencil and then finally place a dot, and this will result in a white spot likely showing. Instead, stick the larger sized dot on top of the Pencil as centered as possible, then start smoothing out the top eraser part, and once it looks nice (you can role the circular top part on a table to flatten it out if needed) place the 0-sized dot, or a smaller size in the top center. I didn't use tweezers or a hair dryer to stretch out the wrap; but I suppose you can keep either on hand in case it's needed. What's key if you want a nice install is to just isolate yourself from distractions for about 15-20 minutes, and just be sure to not stretch out any part of the wrap as your pulling it off the paper (also, try your best to not touch the sticky side). Two skins are included in case you mess up, so have fun!! It'll be worth it, there's always a funny reaction from someone who sees you writing on an iPad with a wooden pencil.

I’m giving it 3 stars because it simply looks awesome. I’m glad it comes with two. I already messed up the first one. The video makes it seem an easy and seamless application, but it’s hard to get it smoothed out, even after blow drying it. Still, it you can get it on right, it’s a gorgeous product. Just be ready to experience some minor frustration once it’s on. I’m not ready to do it again, so i’m keeping the extra skin for a later time.

It was easy to put and really cute

Terrible application process and not worth the aggravation and frustration. Had to hit it with blow dryer to even begin to get it to stick and after hitting again, it doesn't stay. There are other skin options out there.

While it is great material, looks great, and it’s simple to follow the instructions, the skin was WAY too long for the apple pencil. I had to use an x-acto knife to cut off and extra and reposition. I made it work but does not look as nice as I would’ve liked.
