5 RFID-Proof Wallets and Passport Cases

Do you need an RFID wallet or passport case? A lot of people aren’t convinced just yet. RFID-blocking prevents scammers from stealing your credit card/personal information by using wireless scanners to hijack the signals given off by RFID chips. The only catch? The vast majority of credit cards in the US don’t use RFID yet, and your passport’s front and back covers block RFID anyway. Nevertheless, better safe than sorry. You don’t want to the that one person who gets scammed this way and it becomes a whole thing and then everyone panic-buys aluminum foil to wrap all their gadgets in, do you? Most wallet/case manufacturers build in RFID protections anyway these days, whether it’s fully necessary or not. And, let’s face it, you could use an upgrade on your trifold black leather wallet you bought in 2006 that’s bursting with the business cards of people you’ll never meet again.
