How to use it

One of the great things about RFID blocking wallets is that although the initials stand for 'radio-frequency identification,' and sound somewhat technical, they are actually extremely easy to use. The simple reason for this is that the technology required to block illicit scanning of your cards is part of the manufacturing process and contained within the materials used to make the wallet.

With this specific RFID blocking card wallet, you have the capacity to store four embossed cards, or six non-embossed cards. To store them, all you do is place each one in the slot and push it inside. You will see that the entire card is now within the wallet, so the chip in it is protected no matter which way round the card is sitting.

If you need to use one of your cards to pay for something, all you need to do is push the sliding trigger on the side of the wallet towards the end of the wallet where the opening is. When you do this, all your cards should appear.

The wallet should be small enough to fit in most pockets, be that in trousers, jeans, a shirt or a jacket, and of course you can also carry it in a bag, briefcase or backpack. With regards to sitting down with the wallet in your back pocket, we should point out that it is very rigid, so it may be more comfortable to move it to a front pocket before sitting.
