RFID-blocking wallet

RFID-blocking wallet

A wallet that prevents readers from accidentally picking up the data in RFID-based credit cards and ID cards that are in the wallet. A home-made version can also be created using aluminum foil and duct tape; however, it is unlikely to have that "Gucci appeal."
