Ask Walt

"What makes your wallets more secure or different from other RFID wallets on the market?"
Shielding of the entire wallet is the most important feature for an RFID protective wallet. Your wallet should protect your cards at all times, even if your wallet is open. Every single slot on every wallet of ours is protected, including the zipper and billfold sections. Many of our competitors use a protective lining around the outside layer of the wallet only. This does not protect your cards when your wallet is open. We have also tested some of our competitors' wallets and have found that many do not shield effectively. In fact, some 'knock-offs' actually include documentation stating they are not 100% effective.
You can only be sure you are completely protected when you buy Identity Stronghold products.

A rapid migration from paper or machine readable passports to smart card-based passports (complying with the ICAO standard for ePassports) started in 2007. This has led to nearly half of all passports now in use being e-passports. Read more
Be sure your passports are protected when you travel.
