A small bag originally intended for a GPS is modified with an enlarged grip for the zipper. The grip is made of the hard part of the Velcro. The bag is attached with Velcro fasteners on the armrest of the wheelchair.

Users comments
The user stores valuables and medicine (syringes for diabetes) in the bag. The bag fits right onto the armrest of the wheelchair and is barely visible.
