A Case for Logic [Accessories]

I've never seen a mobility accessory that I've really liked. The backpacks that come from the manufacturers are either cheap and flimsy or built so tough they add more weight than the flat free inserts in the wheels. I've seen cane holders that let the canes bounce out, baskets that can't be reached by the chair user, and cup holders that break when you look at them funny.

Case Logic, makers of some very high quality bags and electronic accessories, have come out with a line of 13 nylon mobility accessories. I first saw the line at a local Walgreen's store. They are also available for sale on the web site. I don't do retail and don't keep a stock of these types of items, so I didn't look into vendor pricing, but even the retail pricing on the web site is very reasonable.

Case Logic has created some well thought out products for manual and power chair as well as walker users. My favorite feature is the zipper pulls. Ever watch an incomplete quad try and use a zipper? The zipper pulls are part of each item sold with a zipper as well as available as a separate item that can be used to retrofit a favorite bag or parka. At 4.99 for a 3 pack, the price is almost too reasonable. I'm sure if Medicare had a HCPC code for it they would be much more expensive.

I also like the catchall that is built to hang on the side of a manual chair leg rest. It's just big enough to keep a couple of small items in an easy to get to place.

Case Logic has thought out some good products that make use of space that is not traditionally used for storage. Now if we could just find a basket for a power chair that the user can actually access while sitting in the chair.
