RFID Blocking Sleeves (Set of 12)

Your cards broadcast. This is the mute button.

Over-the-shoulder view of a bearded man in flannel and trucker cap at a wooden table, sliding a credit card into an "RFID Blocking Sleeve" above an open leather wallet. An enamel mug sits on the table beside him.

How John uses it

Every contactless card I own goes in a sleeve before it goes in the wallet. Credit, debit, fuel card, the membership card I haven’t used in two years but still don’t want pinging a reader in a parking lot. Skimmers exist. The cost of stopping them is a dollar.

I also use them on hotel key cards when I travel. I don’t need the front desk knowing which floor I came back to at which hour, and I definitely don’t need the next guest’s reader scraping whatever’s still on the card.

Why John recommends it

RFID skimming is real, it’s cheap to do, and it happens without you knowing. Aluminum foil works, technically, but the sleeves don’t fall apart and they let you tell which card is which at a glance. This is the kind of insurance where the cost of having it is roughly zero and the cost of not having it is whatever’s in your checking account.
