Can we all take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief that RFID theft never really became a widespread thing? Turns out it's much, much easier for thieves to write programs that can clone thousands of credit cards from online databases than it is for them to carry a handheld scanner around.

IT WORKS!!! I made my own sleeve out of the materials you showed and tested it today!!! I went to the store and tapped to pay 3 times, but it did not go through. Then, I took my credit card out of the sleeve, retapped it and it processed immediately! Thank you for the helpful video!!!

This is great! You can't always trust that a wallet advertised as RFID blocking is really able to do that. I had an RFID blocking wallet that worked, evidenced by holding the wallet that contained my work badge up to the locker room entry tag, which then did NOT allow me to open the door. That wallet wore out. I bought another wallet advertised as having RFID blocking, but when my badge was in this wallet, the sensor on the locker room door easily recognized it and granted me admission. I love this wallet, so THANK YOU! I can now make it an RFID blocking wallet.

Nice. So glad I found your video. I will be sewing a card wallet and will incorporate the alum tape between the liner and cover fabric!

Is it insanity that in the 80s when the banking industry learned of how this can be exploited - they stopped making this type of RFID card, and yet now we all have to deal with this bs again?

You can also take a piece of cardboard not so thick and cover it with aluminum foil and wrap it around with clear tape and it protect also, all my wallets have one👍👍👍👍👍

I see you putting aluminum foil in the wallets but you don't show whether it stops your cards from being scanned. You may be in for a rude (and rather expensive) shock.

Thank You!!

Just got my first bank card and license, im new to adulting i guess, but this gives me peace of mind in the case that a cheap wallet case for my phone will actually work as long as i have tinfoil and tape lol. Thank you!

A test wold be nice.

I have done the whole family wallets, Great tip, Thank you!!

This was just what I was looking for. I got a wallet phone case but this one didn't have RFID protection so now I'm trying to find a fix. I actually have some of that tape from a project years ago. Thanks!

This is genius! Thank you for posting!
