We use these card at our weekly card clubs at the Senior Center...no problems...no complaints Cards do become more flexible after repeated shuffling

They are coated not plastic therefore a more thin of a card, should be fine for you.

Hi, the ones I bought are the Jumbo (Text) Sized ones, I would guess the same physical size as Standard cards. These ones are plastic or resin coated and not paper card stock so the edges will not get easily frayed. The are slippery which can be good and bad. To answer your main question, I have a gouty arthritis in one hand but I can shuffle the cards as long as I use the dorky what I learned which was to place half the cards on the edge of the others and pressing and wiggling a bit to get them to alternate more or less. I guess they are more bendable than most thicker plastic cards than I could imagine. I never learned to properly flick the corners to shuffle. And with my arthritis now I would not even try -- I'd have these or any cards all over the floor. I've got to tell you I don't get around to playing cards much these days with just my wife and me. We have a lot or decks or cards, porker chips, dice, and the like but just don't play games much. It seems most of our close friend would rather talk, listen to music, and watch TV. When I was a kid and young adult my parents and I played many card games with some (at the time) elderly neighbors who were avid card players. I think cards do come in different thicknesses and therefore bend-ability but I have no idea how to know what is what. I feel for your arthritis, I now have trouble using my DSLR camera because of it, for one.

Folds without breaking -it is scored so it is easy to fold - it is not perforated with holes so it would tear. I use these for all the cards I print.

Very flexible. Not hard. Can shape around about any size from what I experienced.

They are not very stiff, they will not give a lot of protection from bending. I'm not familiar with the penny sleeves so I can't compare to them.

It's a little stiff, but very moveable. I have arthritis in both hands and can easily operate this device.

They're still pretty stiff, but if you're good or even just decent at shuffling cards you can still do it.

They are very easy to open. It doesn't require 2 hands to open, but it does make it a little easier.

I would not recommend very heavy cards or index cards, if you stay close to an index card paper weight you should be good. But they are so pretty two wood not be bad to have!

Its not as thick as a regular cardstock but, for my opinion, stiff enough to use as the base of a card. Its much stiffer than copy or drawing paper. Hope this will help.

no, I don't think this is heavy enough for that application, and if you wanted a glossy finish - they would not be glossy either. so, they would not shuffle well. however if it is for a kid birthday or something, and you do not need it to be super heavy, or actually feel like playing cards, it might work OK.

Not very stiff or thick you can roll it up in your hands. They have various lengths

They are very flexible. I use them all over the place. You can use them anywhere.

No, your cards shouldn't get bent. The shuffler doesn't bend the cards to shuffle like when you shuffle them by hand

No they are not. I think you will be very happy with the quality of these cards they are very durable and not to slippery.

These cards can take a little wetness and the cards are waterproof...but by the pool the card will be hard to shuffle..they shuffle the best in an area that is dry and cool to cold..overall excellent cards

It is stiff, but not hard. So you can't fold it but it is quite bendable and will bounce back to original shape. I can't think of analogy that properly describes it. I have a much smaller one, but have been very happy with it.

Thiese cards are surprisingly thin. They are not laminated or glossy, have no protective coating. I would say they are thinner and more prone to bending than regular playing cards. A toddler like mine left alone with these would bend ro tear them within seconds.
