I was asking for my elderly mother and she knows literally nothing about any of this and which model would be easiest for her to use. I thought maybe someone could give suggestions. Something that might have audible beeps or at least vibrate. I do not think it would be a waste of money to her to spend a bit of money to get something she is more comfortable with.

I am all for things being accessible, but at what a cost? I have two regular ones, made by Anker, one 10000 mah and the other 26000. I have never had one of them run completely down, I just keep an approximate count of how long I have used them and recharge them in time. I think the smaller one can charge this phone maybe 3 times, the other one maybe 6 times. I can tell when they are charging, they get warm around the charging point, and begin to cool down when they have finished. I think the 10000 mah one now is about $25, the other one comparably priced. I remember the one that came out a few years ago, that talked, and they wanted $85 for that thing. In my opinion, what a waste of money! Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone S E 2 On Nov 11, 2021, at 10:16 AM, Richard Turner <richardturne...@outlook.com> wrote: Here is a long shot. I wonder if you called Amazon Accessibility Customer Service and described the features you want, if they could sift through what they carry to give you some idea? 888-283-1678 I called yesterday about getting them to put a note on our orders to have the delivery person ring the doorbell!

I found a couple of reviews online, but when going to the link provided, the items were no longer available. I am not looking for a phone case that charges, I am looking for something that can charge a phone and possibly other USB devices and is simple for a blind person to use. I was really hopeful about one of the items I had found, but sadly it is not being sold anymore. Any information would be greatly appreciated. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
