Colour Name:Grey Stripped  |  Size Name:1 Passport RFID Shielding RFID is used to transmit details over short distances so it's important to protect ourselves from potential threats. Typically biometric data from your passport is sent over RFID. This includes facial recognition biometric data and fingerprints. The passport also showes the personal details on the last page. ID cards, hotel keys and more, also use RFID. Shielding blocks this data until you're ready to use it. Other cards effected Personal data has been found on other cards too. Credit and Debit Cards, Membership cards, hotel keys and more. We don't know how many cards could be leaking your data. Card issuers may not think their technology poses a threat but multiple cards could complete an ID map so it's up to you to shield the data you want to keep safe.

Cheap and effective, but perhaps not a final solution
This was a cheap and effective temporary solution to my gradually increasing paranoia caused by stories of contactless card scamming. The protectors look exactly like their picture on the Amazon page, namely thin silver-coloured plastic covers for credit or debit cards. I tried one of them out at a supermarket; even putting the card in one these wallets physically on top of the reader had no effect until I removed the card from the wallet. So I am satisfied that they work and are not just fancy-looking plastic covers.Why did I buy this? I am not convinced that scamming of cashless cards is, or will be, a big problem, but I have heard stories (1). The alternatives are to do nothing or you can buy aluminium cases to hold your cards, but these tend to be small and you will still need a wallet to hold bank notes. You can also buy a scam-proof wallet, but these are more expensive. I thought these protectors seemed a little expensive for what they are, but I also thought that they were cheaper than the alternatives and they will provide immediate peace-of-mind.The protectors arrived in a letter with the supplier’s address stamped on the outside. I expected a leaflet of some kind but all the letter contained was the protectors. My cards fitted snugly in to them and the protectors seem tough enough to last. Unfortunately, it was a tight fit putting the cards, now fitted into their protectors, back into the card-slots in my wallet (2). However, in use I can pull a card out leaving its protector still in the wallet. This is fiddlier than it used to be.______________________________________________________________________________________________________(1) SC magazine, an online security magazine, recently had an article about this. "A member of the SC team has had money taken from their bank account, apparently via a contactless card theft. A train journey to work is a very innocuous thing. But when a man slowly bumped into me and my pocket for a bit too long, it took me a second to realise what had just happened. I called my bank and found out that said individual had managed to steal £20 from my account via a contactless card payment; my bank promptly reimbursed me. . . . " (See Comment for link)(2) The covers have a rim of about 3 mm on the three closed sides (left, right and bottom). This makes the covers noticeably wider than the cards.

This item really works, I tried it on a ...
This item really works, I tried it on a 'Contactless Machine' with it on and it would not 'scan register,' took it off and scanned a again - this time I was able to pay for the goods ! In these criminal times this is a 'Must Have' !The only small criticism is that it is a bitt 'Fiddly' getting it in and out of the protective sleeve.

Great product - would recommend!
The card protectors arrived promptly. We have tested them out by trying to pay at a checkout with the protector on - the card wouldn't work, so they obviously do keep the card shielded until you remove it from the protector. Cards in protectors fit neatly into the slots in my purse, but i was finding them a bit fiddly to replace in the protector after use. However, I discovered that you don't need to remove the card all the way from the protector to use it for contactless payments - just pull it out part way and slide back again after use.Great product that seems to do exactly what it claimed - would recommend!!

Very good
Very good I use them all the time with confidence but find they are a bit too tight hard when trying to put the card in and out

Essential Card Protection
After a friend went to pay for an item with their contactless card, only to be told they had already paid I realised that card protection is vital. These slim sleeves are essential. Theyre so lightweight- cards slip into the sleeve and are easily withdrawn. Credit cards still fit into a standard wallet space.when slipped into the sleeves. I shall be ordering more for friends.

7/ 10 for design, delivery 11/10, quality excellent
Excellent, tried at a friendly retailers, works with all cards. Cons; could be more user friendly , if pouch opened on side instead of top, would facilitate easier access when in pocket purse. Arrived before time expected and in good condition. Will order more for family/friends if design changes

polka dots RFID
Delivery was late. Need RFID protection for my credit card. When I tried it with my credit card the side of this cover split half way. Poor quality, disappointed with it! But it look's pretty!

Prompt service
As an experiment I tried to use my card whilst in the sleeve & the machine could not read the card. Once the card was half way out of the sleeve the card reader took the payment. Being so thin the sleeves are a bit fiddly to use at first, but I soon got used to it & now use it with ease.
