It comes with an adapter so you can charge it with same Lightning charger you use to charge the iPad itself.
I almost accidentally threw it out with the packaging. They should have incorporated into the cap so you'd always have it with you.
Also it's kind of silly they didn't make that end (where an eraser usually is) function as an eraser.
That is the one thing that annoys the crap out of me, considering the stylus from my Toshiba Windows Tablet PC (what, thirteen/fourteen years ago?) had this functionality. I’ll ignore that I have to charge it all (Toshiba one didn’t) because of the tech differences, but I can’t grock a reason not to have an “eraser”.
having a cap to protect its manliness is so... stupid
I’ve just been using the female-female adapter as a cap, but it doesn’t look as nice. It’s more oval than round and has the exposed port.
I’m kind of surprised no one has made a nicer female-female adapter with matching male cap.
Because when I'm out and about, I don't want to stop somewhere to charge my pencil. This way, you plug it in to the iPad, and in less than a minute you can work with it for any hour or more - no need to hunt for a wall plug or bring along a cable.
