MamaPeach, It is a strange phenomenon that when a person asks for information on a topic, some people feel the need to express an opinion about whether that person should buy this or that, or do this or that, when the question was for information not opinions.
I generally ignore those posts because they are off topic and completely irrelevant. You never have to explain to anyone why you want information.

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!

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.
