Harvard Square Startup Debuts a Super-Skinny Wallet on Kickstarter

Big Skinny Wallets is introducing a line of RFID-blocking wallets in order to prevent identity fraud and card skimming. The Big Skinny Wallets Kickstarter will be funded on Feb. 10 (six days from now) and has already received commitments from more than 2,300 backers and $93,000 in pledge money—blowing away their $22,000 goal. Many RFID-blocking wallets are relatively pricy but the Big Skinny wallets can be backed by contributions of at least $35. The Big Skinny wallets are estimated to be delivered in March
