Social Responsibility We’ve taking every detail into account, from where we buy our cold rolled aluminum to how we produce our environmentally and socially responsible packaging. Every major component is machined and finished in Massachusetts where it was created. Simple but right. “The devil is in the details,” I have heard this expression many times, but never felt its full breadth until PenSe. PenSe, for all practical purposes, seems like a simple product to manufacture. The largest challenge however has been finishing PenSe for best possible user experience. I knew this was important but just how important did not strike me until about a month and a half ago when a fellow Kickstarter backer (and experienced engineer with a concrete understanding of consumer manufacturing) gave us the following advice. “PenSe will spend its life in your customers’ hands, held by fingers, and like it or not, subconsciously compared to everything they have ever held… the feel, the weight, the finish, the quality…all will be constantly passed from fingertips to brain and back again… the most sensitive nerve endings in the body, the surgeons tools, the artists tools… the user experience that you have to deal with is astronomically more complicated and harder than the guy building an app for a phone, or a device that a user touches once a day… as soon as the PenSe doesn’t feel FANTASTIC in the hand and fingers, it will get abandoned… so you had better get it right… hope that wasn’t too dramatic….but after 35 years of engineering and manufacturing experience in both hardware and software, and seeing successes and failures…. I thought about what you are doing and it truly is on a different level than other products. hang in there…and don’t compromise… it won’t pay in the end.” –Stephen S. This is some of the best advice I have received about PenSe, and our team is taking it very seriously. About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.

Once you read the instructions, it's perfect!
I was a backer on KickStarter. While I can confirm that it did take a long time to ship, I can also sympathize with a small company. Doing everything for the first time can be stressful and have many unseen problems to solve. When it finally shipped and arrived, I was really excited. However when I was playing with it, when I pressed down on the pen, it would pop back into the unit. I was so disappointed because that made the PenSe useless. I emailed the people, and they got back to me within the week. Once I explained my problem, they suggested I watch this one review on YouTube. I never ended up watching past the point where it mentioned the clear, small 'o' rings on /on/ the Apple Pencil /before/ you put it in the PenSe. Once I put on the clear 'o' rings, it was soooooooo much better! So on with my critique of the product!1) BE SURE TO PUT ON THE CLEAR 'O' RINGS FIRST! I thought I didn't need to look at the instructions, because how hard is it to put together a 3 piece pen that was easily decided into 3 parts. So I'll say this now. Read the instructions that they direct you to.2) it is balanced. However, if you like to grip the pencil closer to the tip, it does feel unbalanced. Readjusting your grip solves this problem though.3) it has an industrial look to it. I personally like it.4) it feels very sturdy! I feel like my Apple Pencil will be very safe inside it! Along with all the accessories!5) I love having a home for all of my accessories with my pencil wherever it goes! It's a no brainer!6) my magnets only really work with certain parts of my iPad Pro. I don't know why. So while it doesn't stick to all the side, it does and will stick securely to a side, and that's good enough for me.7) the cap on mine does slip off easier than expected. However, they are aware of the issue and were more than understanding to supply a thicker black 'o' band to compensate.So in short, it is what it is, but I love mine and think that it was worth the wait!

Amazed at this product
Amazed at this product, imported from the US to UK only to find the cap is so lose if I hold it in my hand with the cap face down it comes lose and falls sadly with the top of the apple pencil in the Pense cap it makes that easy to lose also already had to wonder round searching for it, another issue is the lightning adapter which should apparently slot into it according to the video mine doesn't fit in the least its a standard apple adapter came in the box with my pencil.I tried to search the page for contact info via amazon but didn't notice any and after 30+ plus minutes just wrote the review, I wouldn't purchase another one with the cap issue makes the whole thing pointless because once the cap falls off the tip of the pencil is vulnerable to damage.

The PenSe is the problem, not the consumer.
When I bought this, I assumed all the bad reviews were from people that didn't follow the directions. The pen I got has no magnetic anything. It comes apart with the slightest pressure, and it's way too long and awkward to work with. The videos I saw were simple and easy, but still it would fall apart.

Should have had a better retention method
Lotta money for something to fall apart. The orings do not keep the lid or other attachments tight. Lost the clip cap after one week of using it. Should have had a better retention method. Tried to contact the manufacturer but was unable to.

Not very useful.
Too big. Not very useful.

I Love It - Turns Apple Pencil into Artistic Tool
I backed the Kickstarter for this product. Yes, there were some shipping issues, but those aside, I just received my Pense this past Friday, and I do have to say I absolutely love it. It turns the Apple Pencil into an artistic tool rather than just an electronic component. It adds some desperately needed weight to it which makes it so much more substantial. I come from a Fine Art background myself, in my 42 years doing art over 20 of those have been traditional, so while I can adapt to the electronic feel of the Apple Pencil, I absolutely prefer it feeling like a tool, and that is one of the primary things Pense delivers on.The magnet option so it stays put on my iPad Pro Smart Cover works brilliantly. Does not come off at all. Add in the fact I was not sure if I was going to have to remove it each time I wanted to charge the pencil (I do not, they figured that part out as well you can leave it on and charge from the bottom), and I really could not be happier with the fact that I chose to back this company and make their vision come to life. A vision I personally believed in since the moment I saw it as I felt myself it was what the Apple Pencil lacked.It is my understanding they are continuing to improve on it as well, so it can only get better from here.I am including a few pics so people can know I am an owner.By the way I have read people claiming it slips in the case, etc. Mine is snug as a bug and does not move at all. I did follow the instructions to put it together so perhaps that is why as well, but even without the rubber bands it fits snug, they just make it more snug.I also just drew the portrait of Ronald Reagan I am including completely using the Pense.
