BellroyIn 2016, many of our credit cards and passports are outfitted with embedded radio frequency identification (or RFID) chips. These chips are what make it possible to pay without swiping your card at the corner store. However, there are concerns out there of "RFID skimming" — the act of using a scanner to steal someone’s personal information from their credit card without it every leaving their pocket. It’s a bit like digital pickpocketing.
In response to this potential threat, there are now wallets made specifically to block any potential digital hacks.
While there is still ongoing debate about how big a threat RFID skimming is, if you are the type who lives by the adage of "better safe than sorry," consider investing in an RFID-blocking wallet to protect yourself.
After a few months with the Nomad wallet, I switched over to the Note Sleeve and my back pocket has never been happier.While I enjoyed the Nomad, especially its function as a portable charger, it was always a bit bulky for me. The Note Sleeve is the perfect size and makes accessing all of my most important cards and cash incredibly easy.
BellroySimply put, the Note Sleeve is the best wallet I have owned thus far, and now you can get one with RFID-protection if skimming is a concern to you. For those a bit less concerned with protecting their wallet, the Note Sleeve is available in a ton of different colors, if you’re looking for a fashionable piece in your pocket (I have it in Blue Steel and it looks great).
