This review is from: Travelon RFID Blocking Billfold (Apparel) I purchased this item after watching a segment on TV showing that cards with RFID chips could be read from a distance and that credit card and other info is being stolen that way. I (like probably a lot of other people) thought the card had to be put up against or very close to the reader. I certainly wasn't aware that it could be read thru your back pocket and wallet! Some people think I'm being a little paranoid or overly cautious. The chances are probably remote that I would be a target for this kind of theft but all it takes is one time to make life miserable for you. To me, $27.00 is a very reasonable price to pay compared to the problems that would be caused if your credit or debit card info was stolen. My workplace has an RFID reader at the entrance to gain access. I put my access card in my leather wallet to see if it could be read thru the wallet.

With my "PayPass" Debit card and new Enhanced Drivers License (EDL), protection from ID theft by RFID was a concern so I bought this wallet. I tested it at both a gas station and a Jack-In-The-Box and this wallet shields RFID signals completely. The card reader didn't "hear" a thing, even went the wallet was placed directly in contact with it.

The added aluminum foil inside the body of the wallet is nearly undetectable (if you listen carefully and bend it you can hear some crinkling). I haven't tested yet if I can pick up RFIDs inside, but even without that assurance it is a nice wallet. As RFIDs are used more and more in everyday necessary items (such as the building access pass I carry to get to my office when the building is closed) the increasing danger is obvious. I don't know if invisible pickpockets are the wave of the future, but the possibility exists and taking a few measures against being an early victim is certainly not a bad idea.
