Works with every iPad from 2018 onwards, no Bluetooth pairing, palm rejection and tilt, USB-C charging – the stylus built for classrooms.

6 August 2025 · Formcase

The Formcase Stylus Pencil works with all iPads from 2018 onwards and brings professional features without the premium price. It connects to the iPad automatically – no Bluetooth pairing – so it is ready to use straight out of the box.

Key features

1. Fine 1.5 mm tip

The fine tip gives precise control for sketching, handwriting and detailed editing – ideal for students, creatives and professionals.

2. Tilt and palm rejection

Tilt recognition and palm rejection make writing feel natural: students can rest their hand on the screen while they write, even in apps like Procreate or Notability.

3. Touch on/off

A touch on the top switches the pencil on or off – no buttons needed. An automatic power-saving mode protects the battery.

4. Fast USB-C charging

A full charge via USB-C takes about 20–30 minutes. A small LED shows the battery status.

5. Light aluminium body

At around 13 g, the aluminium pencil is comfortable for long writing and drawing sessions.

Why schools choose it

  • Plug and play: works on every supported iPad without pairing – ideal for shared class sets.
  • Reliable battery: long running time and quick recharge.
  • Professional features at a school budget.

Good to know: the pencil does not support pressure sensitivity. Line width does not change with pressure.
