Does Your Wallet Protect Those New RFID Credit Cards?

That MasterCard commercial is great. You know the one where the guy running the marathon steps into a convenient store, grabs a soda, swipes his card and runs out. Ah, the luxuries of modern life, how did we live so long without them all of those new digital money products?

But what about that guy you noticed riding the subway who casually passed a small strange looking black box right over your back wallet pocket and then walked along doing it to others? (the electronic pickpocket) Or how about that key card you have from work? Did you know that can be read from almost 30 feet away and tracks the movement of its card holder through hallways, offices and even the elevator or garage?

Just because you have those fancy new RFID cards tucked safely in your pocket or purse that does NOT mean they have stopped broadcasting your personal and financial information.

I’ve blogged this important topic several times before and each time I come back to one quality product which is guaranteed to protect your card information. Kena Kai Lifestyle Gear (DataSafe® Wallets) makes some awesome wallets and leather goods for protecting those very important RFID cards. These wallets for both men and women have built in protective material (Up to (17) Layers of RF Shielding Material) which prevents the card information from broadcasting beyond the inner protection of the gear. When your new cards are in these wallets they cannot be picked up by readers just inches away. They also make a beautiful travel passport cover because today – even most of the US Passports have chips.

The DataSafe® Wallets are exclusive patent-pending wallets that are Government Certified to protect you against the rising threat of Identity Theft and Tracking.

The DataSafe® Wallets are the ONLY wallets to be tested and approved to meet, or exceed, the security protocols set forth in HSPD12 (Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12) for “Electromagnetically Opaque Sleeves”.

There is a lot more press and reviews on this product, I’m not the only one who loves them so if you have RFID, I suggest you check out this web and read up.
