elago Pencil Stand for Apple Pencil Pro and tablet styluses (Mint) — silicone dock stand
Product description
If you’re forever moving your stylus out of the way (only to misplace it again later), a dedicated stand helps keep your workspace calmer. The elago Pencil Stand is designed as a simple home for your stylus, with an intentionally non-fussy look in mint.
On paper, it’s a practical accessory rather than a gadget: a durable silicone stand that’s meant to be safe to handle and to look tidy when it’s sitting on your desk.
The essentials
This stand is made from durable, non-recycled silicone. The point isn’t just the appearance, it’s also the feel and day-to-day usability. Silicone tends to be comfortable to touch and, if you’re clumsy like most people, it can be kinder than hard plastics when it’s being grabbed or adjusted.
It’s also positioned as compatible with Apple Pencil Pro and any tablet stylus, and the base description notes support for Apple Pencil 1 and 2 as well. Another practical detail: it can be used with or without a pencil case, which matters if you often store your stylus in a sleeve.
Key features that affect day-to-day use
What you’ll likely notice is how this stand fits into routine. Instead of leaving a stylus to roll around near the keyboard, you give it a consistent “home” on your desk.
The stand is described as designed in-house from concept to finished product, so the company is aiming for both functionality and a clean look. The maker also claims it’s designed to “function perfectly” and to last, with silicone chosen to be safe to use for adults, children and pets.
That last part is worth highlighting, but take it with common sense: safety claims are still context-dependent (for example, any small accessory should be used sensibly around young children).
What stands out (and where it may be limited)
Where it stands out is straightforward: it’s meant to keep your stylus organised and visible, while also looking presentable on a workspace. If you share a desk, a classroom table, or just prefer everything to be easy to find, a stand like this can remove a small irritation that builds up.
Where it may be less convincing is the “compatible with any tablet stylus” wording. In the real world, styluses vary in shape and size. It’s a safe bet for common Apple Pencil-style designs, but if your stylus is unusual or significantly different in dimensions, you’ll want to double-check fit before relying on it.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It suits you if you want a neat, grab-and-go stylus setup. It also makes sense if you’re buying a small gift for a tablet stylus user who already uses their device daily. The mint colour is described as part of the “looks great” intent, so it’s aimed at people who care about how their desk looks, not only function.
It might not suit you if your priority is a charging dock or a more structured station with extra features. This is described as a stand rather than a multi-purpose accessory, so don’t expect it to replace a full charging cradle.

Everyday use tips
A simple micro-scenario: when you finish sketching or note-taking, place your stylus back into the stand immediately. Next time you pick up your tablet, the stylus is already where your hand expects it to be—no searching under cushions or scrolling through bag compartments.
If you use a pencil case, try placing the stylus back both ways (with and without the case) to see which feels more natural for you. The stand is described as usable either way, so the “best” setup is mostly about your routine.
Final verdict
Worth considering if you want a practical silicone pencil stand that helps keep your workspace tidy, with support for Apple Pencil Pro and mentions of Apple Pencil 1 and 2. It also looks like a sensible, low-fuss gift for anyone using a tablet stylus.
Better avoided if your stylus shape is particularly odd or you’re expecting a charging/expansion dock. This is a stand-first accessory, so it delivers the most value when you simply want a reliable place for your stylus to live.

Is it only for Apple Pencil?
No—it’s described as compatible with Apple Pencil Pro and also Apple Pencil 1 and 2, and it’s positioned for tablet stylus users more broadly.
Is the silicone safe for children and pets?
It’s described as safe to use for adults, children and pets. Still, basic common-sense supervision is always a good idea with any small item in a home.
Will it suit any tablet stylus?
The wording suggests broad compatibility, but styluses vary. If your stylus is significantly different in size or shape, it may not be a great match.
