After buying cordura wallets because most my wallets never lasted very long, i tried looking for an RFID-blocking cardwallet since those cordura ones were massively bulky

I ordered one from Ögon before i knew about this EU-movement. I must admit i'm really happy to see i got lucky and supported our southern neighbours in France.

It is a somewhat bulky solution, but I've gotten me some RFID card envelopes (sleeves). Very cheap and solved my problem.

I didn't realize how easy it is to scan the card, until I accidentally paid my gasoline with the wrong card. I've had my gasoline card in my right hand and was going for the card terminal, but at the same time i placed my left hand, in which I've had the wallet, next to the terminal. And before I even did anything... ding... ''You have already paid, thank you.''.

Some of my colleagues have RFID wallets and I think that is a great solution, too.

I need something like this but for keys

I believe there is like a small RFID tote that works. But why? Keys work on so different frequency.

I got a Ridge almost two years ago. It has a lifetime warranty, so I don't intend on spending any more money on it, but it's a shame I didn't get to support a European company with my purchase.

I've got one of these and I really like it. It's expensive compared to other brands, but I've had it for 5 or 6 years, and it still works perfectly. It's got a few scratches but that's acceptable given that it's been used for years on a daily basis. Highly recommended.
