Identity Stronghold RFID Blocking Mini Wallet - Black

I ordered this primarily for use going back and forth to class on campus. Although more of a mens type wallet (Im a woman), I wanted something with RFID protection, that I could easily slip down inside a zippered pocket inside my book/tote bag. This is very slim, and works great for the purpose I intended. Easily slides into any zippered pocket inside my tote without adding any bulk to an already bulky bag like a regular wallet would, and I don't like carrying a purse to class along with a tote at same time.With this little wallet I can slip my drivers license, school id, credit card & debit card into it along with a few $1's and some quarters for vending machines and no need to carry a purse to class :).Ive also noticed when not at class, I usually just stick this in my back pocket for quick trips to store, or inside the zippered area in any purse or bag and it adds no bulk to purses and frees up a TON of room now that I don't have to have a 'traditional' wallet for those other "essentials" I like to carry in my purse.My point is - this wallet is not just for guys, even girls will find a good use for it. IDStronghold is one of the best RFID protections made to gov't requirements for gov't employees. Beware of other RFID wallets that are not made to gov't standards. My only 1 star off is its "made in India" although IDStronghold is an American company. Whats up with that? Also kind of stiff and crinkly if that makes sense. Im assuming its due to the RFID material built into the wallet.

After doing some research online I thought that It would be a good idea to get protection from RFID hijackers. After receiving this wallet (fast shipping, thanks AMAZON) I tested it out with my work badge. I was able to get our RFID devices at work to scan my ID through this wallet. It did take a few additional swipes, but ultimately I cannot say for certain how secure this wallet would be. If it cuts down the signal enough the hijacker would need to practically be touching you to scan your cards. It may be easier for them to wait for you to purchase something, or to just steal your wallet.Better Security Options:If you are in a country like the United States, where RFID devices are more of hassle then they are worth; contact your bank and request new bank cards without this technology. I was able to do this for my debit and credit cards. I feel more secure walking around now, then I did with this wallet.The Wallet:The wallet is small, leather and does not hold much. I don’t like bulky wallets and do not carry much cash on me. If you are someone that has more than a few cards and likes to carry cash, this may not be the best option for you. Organizing cash with this wallet sucks and the zipper may rip through some of it. When you are paying for something, you find yourself pulling out a wad of cash (much like a tissue to blow your nose) and pulling out random bills to find what you need. The same goes for putting it away, you roll it all up and stuff it back into the wallet. Overall I still use the wallet, why not I spent good money on it.

Just what I was looking for. Likes: Drivers licence window is clear, Cards are not crammed too tight like some wallets, Cash and extra cards are kept safe in the zippered area, zipper opens around the edge a little so you can remove contents easier. Dislike: I bought the black one, and I wish the leather was a little nicer and softer, but this is a minor thing. I am a woman and keep this in my purse.Note: I am a little concerned about a review I read that his work badge would still scan through it. I don't have any way of testing it to see if it works. I would like to see more reviews on if it really prevents RFID scans or not.

The size of this wallet is perfect to keep just the necessary credit cards and ID card. You can use the zipper pocket for cash or to keep receipts. I tested the RFID wallet with my Disney Annual Pass which contains a ship and it blocked the signal perfectly. I also tested my annual pass card with my old pocket wallet and it read it directly from the wallet (I didn't have to take the card out!), so I know that this RFID wallet works! The only thing I didn't like about the wallet is that the material between the pockets makes noise when you insert/pull the cards from it. I guess the RFID material is a paper or something that makes that noise. In any case, this wallet does the work and it's super convenient.

Anymore when you travel abroad you need to think about protecting your identity as best you can. I bought this mini wallet for me and it is okay. It is mini, holding only 4 credit cards on the back, with your driver's license on the front. That part is fine as I don't take a lot of credit cards when I travel. The one downside that I didn't think about and should have when you see the picture, the credit cards are on the outside of the wallet. I wish now I would have bought one that put them on the inside and snapped closed, so they were a bit more protected.I didn't have any cards fall out and had no problem with it.

This review is from one who has now owned this product for a few weeks. It was dirt cheap and works well. I have concerns over how well it will hold up, but at the price offered, I guess I could just buy a new one every year for several years instead of a more costly one.If you have anything in the center, zippered, area, the cards in the outer pockets are quite secure (on mine).BEGIN EDIT of February 1, 2018I replaced this wallet in mid 2017, meaning it lasted four years. Not too shabby. One other great tip -- there is room for a standard space pen in the zippered compartment, so you can actually carry a pen in your wallet. Very handy.

Gift for son who likes to travel light and have a window for his driver's license. Said it wasn't what he expected, but that he liked it. Got more into it than he thought, and appreciated the section for receipts he discovered. Can only hope he wasn't being the polite kid he was raised to be.
