Card Holder

Gamewright Card Holder

I just used this Card Holder in therapy for the first time today and couldn't wait to blog about it. The holder says "Little Hands" on it, and that sounded to me like it might be for kids. But it could be used for kids or adults. The young lady that used it today was a teenager and was very pleased with it.

The most important things to consider for a card holder is that cards can slip in without any trouble, cards stay in place, and that when you take a card out, the other cards around it don't come out with it. This card holder delivers on all accounts. We played UNO today and the card holder held five to seven cards very comfortably. I put 12 cards in it to see if the cards could still be pulled out one at a time without bringing others with it, and they could.

It is an awesome tool for someone who cannot fan cards and hold them in place while playing a game. The holder is made of smooth plastic and the blue over the handle is a smooth covering, not exactly rubber, but less smooth than the holder itself, for a better grip.

One thing I do not know about at this time is how long it will continue to hold cards perfectly. After much use it is bound to get a little sloppy. I will update if and when that happens. Happy playing!

UPDATE: My original holders are holding up well, but I recently saw a couple holders where the two pieces of plastic had permanently separated a little at the top. It looked like the cards wouldn't be able to stay inside the holder. So I took the opportunity to add a few cards and good news, it didn't matter that they had separated. The cards still fit snug into the bottom and pulled out normally. This has been a great tool for me and I expect to continue to use them indefinitely. 

 

2nd UPDATE: I left the holders in the garage over the summer (Arizona heat) and when I went to use them the next time the blue handles were sticky. An icky sticky. I tried a couple things to change it back, but no luck. Had to throw them out. Avoid my mistake for a longer life.
