Hey all, I was contacted by a stroke victim looking for a good wallet to use one-handed...Do you have any suggestions for me to pass on to this person?
Thanks,

Re: wallet?
Amy I did a Google search, came up with this site that can help this stroke victim in general as well as find a wallet!

And there is a thread about a Flip Wallet by American Tourister..
Could not find that online but found a similar item that works the same:

Re: wallet?
I have several Vera Bradley wallets with a strap in different patterns. I have just one hand and find I can open the velcro closure with no problem. I can also unzip the change section. The slots for card and bill storage are excellent. I purchased them for good deals on Ebay. Just enter Vera Bradley with strap.
