DAITET RFID Blocking Sleeves, Set of 10 Credit Card Holders & 2 Passport Protectors for Men & Women and Wallet Trifold Leather Bifold Wallet

Because it is time for me to renew my passport, my brother enlightened me to the whole RFID technology issue.He freaked me out a little, and the more I researched on the internet, the more confused I became.So by now, a third of what I've read says the data on the chip is encrypted, a third says it's not, and a third says it's crackable even though it IS encrypted.Anyway, I came across a great press release about CARMick Products and this passport shield on the "Ultimate News" website, which sent me here.Apparently, this company has been producing shielded holders for credit cards for some time now. I checked out their other product and read the reviews.Between those reviews and the press release, I've decided to wait for the release of this product. Might as well protect my credit cards too.It seems weird to assign "stars" to something I haven't purchased, so I'm going to go ahead and leave just four for now.After I purchase these things and check them out, I'll come back and update this review as well as the number of stars I think it should have.UPDATE as of 11/7/2013:OK...Here's what I did - I bought this set of sleeves. As expected Amazon quickly delivered them to my doorstep.Then, I downloaded an app called NFCProxy. I read about it in Forbes. It can be used to hack credit card information if the card has an RFID chip in it.Then I did a before / after test with my credit cards. And you know what, these sleeves worked GREAT!Next, I tried to find a way to hack my passport. But so far, I can't seem to be able to find an app or a gadget that will do it.Maybe it's too illegal for a publicly available method.So for now, I am going to bump the "stars-rating" up to a 5, and assume that they are just as effective for passports as they are for credit cards. Maybe I'll keep looking for a way to test them, maybe I won't. But if I find one, I'll come back here and report.As far as sleeves go. They're fine. Thin enough to allow the credit cards and passports to still fit in the wallet/bag I use for carrying them around. And they're made of a pretty tough material. It feels like it will last a while.I wish they were a little more attractive, though. Maybe a cool design instead of a GINORMOUS logo.The bottom line is this: As far as I can tell, they do what they are supposed to do. I'm no spy or hacker, but I tested this CARMick product and I'm satisfied.I'm probably going to get a few more sets as gifts for people I feel "obligated" to buy presents for this Christmas (like clients). The way I see it, it's not that "cool" of a present, but they will remember me every time they use their credit card. LOL!

Sleeves arrived in a timely manner and appear to be as advertised. I have no way to test to see if they impact the RF signal or not so I can not really comment on that aspect. They seem sturdy and will protect the cards regardless. Everything appears to be on the up and up and CARMick has followed up with emails to me asking if I am satisfied with their product, that in itself gives me more confidence that they stand behind their product and that it works. I'm not sure how one would test the functionality of it unless you had a card scanner (?)Follow up: So I have a security badge at work that also uses an RFID chip and I had the idea to test the CARMick sleeve on it. What I found was without the sleeve on my badge, the station would register my badge at about 8 inches away. With the sleeve on the badge I had to press the badge completely up against the reader for it to register. I wrapped my badge in 3 layers on each side of thicker paper. That had no effect on the distance the badge was detected.Now here is the real kicker. I have a Global Entry ID Gov't ID card with a special sleeve the gov't sent with it to protect against identity theft. This thing looks brass colored on the inside and just looks like a fort knox of sleeves. IT DID NOT PERFORM AT ALL. The CARMick sleeve was the only thing that appeared to block the signal at all.I am raising my rating to 5 stars and definitely be telling my coworkers about these sleeves. Tested to work as advertised. Thanks CARMick!

I would have given these products a five star but I am not sure whether it works or not🤔 anyway it gave me a feeling of being safe in knowing that my data can't be easily scanned and that works for me.

I was looking for some sort of passport protector when I came across this. To be honest I haven't ordered it as it is not available at this time but I think it's an excellent idea. I have used this brand of credit card protectors and they are very high quality, so I'm expecting these to be of the same high quality when they become available. I need a passport protector and the extra CC protectors always come in handy. Great idea!UPDATE: I ordered this product as soon as it was available. Came in quickly, just on time as I was traveling out of the country and needed the passport jacket to protect my wife's and my passports. Did the job perfectly. I don't know about anyone else but I am getting paranoid about identity theft and the hijacking of peoples information with RFID readers. The crooks and criminals are very well equipped today with the best equipment and the best way to counteract them is to use products like these CarMick protectors for you passports and credit cards. From all that I have been reading on this subject, these protectors stop them cold in their tracks. I highly recommend everyone using these types of products to protect your personal information and identity, and not have to have the hassle of fixing the damage that can occur should you be the victim of one of these criminals. It is very cheap insurance in my opinion.
