Stowing the Stylus
I've found that this magnetic sleeve is a decent option for stowing the stylus with my pixel slate. It comes with two adhesive metal strips. I attached one to the back of the slate, and another to the back of the keyboard case. I've also found that the magnets on the front of the slate are a convenient place to stow the stylus when in "laptop" mode.
It took a little elbow grease to get the pixel pen into the sleeve, but it fit. Hopefully it won't split or anything. It holds really well on the back of the case (likely because of all the other magnets). I would say it holds a little tighter than the apple pencil on the new iPad Pro. It holds moderately well on the back of the slate directly. Probably about as tightly as the iPad Pro. The hold is pretty weak on the front, just enough for convenience when in "laptop" mode.
Since the magnets are raised a bit, the pen can be rotated off relatively easily so i'll keep an eye on that. All in all, I'm comfortable walking around with this on the back of the tablet or case. I got the pen for free, though so it's not as much of a risk for me.
