Product Description
KeySmart made waves with its key holders, but now the company is aiming to make new ones with a collection of wallets, three of which are offered here. They’re made with premium Tectuff leather and rigid card barriers to keep your cards in place Read More
Here's a thing to consider, (the wallet looks pretty decent) but keep in mind that, never once has a credit card number been stolen via RFID from somebody's wallet before.. "In 2018 the Identity Theft Resource Center had never seen a case—and it still doesn’t recommend RFID protection. Slate also notes that modern RFID chips generate single-use codes,"
I like to carry my Metro Transit pass in my wallet, and I can just walk by the Transit scanner to get on the train, but that won't work with an RFID wallet.... I like the design of these wallets, but I wished they offer a non-RFID version.

matt98030You'd be surprised how ineffective these "protections" are. Basically RFID standard specifies few frequencies and each protection has to be specifically made for that frequency, since antennas resonate and produce power for chips in the cards. That said, there was a lecture where people tested many different protections against theft and found that none of them work. Basically they hinder a bit, but pretty much signal to noise ratio was good enough to read the contents of the card.
There was one product planned (Guard Bunny) which sadly never went into production and that product was designed to power off of same radio waves but instead of emitting data and respecting RFID protocol, they used the power to jam the signal.
What keeps these from passing radio frequencies between the card and reader? If you’re going to advertise Tech, you’ll make more sales if you explain the damn stuff. ;-)
This guy makes some good points (one of them being that RFID protection is not really necessary in the USA) https://youtu.be/oIhdFFPiG_w
I like the looks of this, but it needs a longer thumb hole, to make quick selection of the seven credit cards easier, like the Vessel by Veered.
