Quality RFID blocking wallet?

So I currently have a Saddleback that I really love... but I'm acquiring more and more RFID enabled cards.

Are there any nice looking, quality RFID blocking wallets out there?

I hate shopping for things like this on Amazon since I can't hold them in my hands, figured FT might have some suggestions.

I like my Rogue wallet:

https://www.rogue-industries.com

They appear to have a lot more products than when I bought mine. Most of them are desigened to be used in the front pocket.

I like wallets from Baggallini (for women) and Pacsafe (unisex). I've also purchased tyvek RFID sleeves from amazon in the past. Edited to add: The tyvek sleeves are for both credit-card size items or for passports. By using sleeves you can use any wallet and still have RFID protection. You could also look at Eagle Creek brand.

These look nice... I wish they didn't shape them so oddly but otherwise it seems like a good candidate, thanks for the link.

Thanks! This pacsafe wallet looks pretty cool - I like that this one includes a coin purse:

I'm pleased with my Sea to Summit RFID-blocking travel wallet. There's an external outside pocket for subway passess.

I picked this one up a few months ago (the black one, not the camo...) and it has been absolutely invaluable. One of the best purchases I have made recently.

The coin pocket is a very useful feature, the divider in the bill area is great for separating out multiple currencies when you are covering multiple countries quickly, and the belt strap gives incredible piece of mind that you won't lose track of your wallet or give it to a pickpocket.

The belt attachment hides very well and doesn't show nearly as much as I though it would.

I have a slim Louis Vuitton wallet that I use normally but this has taken over when traveling heavily, very useful.

This one holds just credit cards, and credit-card-sized ID, but I like it for the window slot for ID: http://www.ebags.com/product/high-ro...uctid=10319168

Unfortunately, I can't recall where I bought this one, which is my daily wallet, big enough to hold ID (in window), many credit cards and cash, with key ring -- the RFID protection is only in an outside slit pocket, but that's all I need. Too big for a man's suit pants pocket, but I carry in purse, waist pack, or zipped jacket or hoodie pocket: http://besafebags.com/shopexd.asp?id=473

I have one of these Secrid wallets. I primarily only carry cards so I have the 6 card one with the strap for occasional bills.

Lots of options, sizes, etc.

I appreciate that this response won't answer your question, but rather than using an RFID-blocking wallet, I carry a Vault Card inside my wallet.

So far I have tested this by trying to "tap-in" and out of train/tube stations in London, and by trying to open doors in the building where I work. The Vault Card seems to do the trick, because neither of these systems work unless I take the appropriate card out of my wallet.

At least this method allows you to carry on using your existing wallet, rather than replacing it.

I second the recommendation for the secrid wallet. I used to carry around a thick heavy wallet jam packed with all my ff/loyalty cards, I managed to condense it down to 5 cards (debit, 2 credit, commuter pass, main loyalty card), along with driver's license, health insurance cards, and a bit of cash that discreetly fits in my front pocket. The rest of the loyalty cards went into a card holder that stays in my briefcase. With the flick of the lever, my primary debit card pops out enough to allow me to tap for the debit machine. I might condense things further as I use Apple wallet more with my iPhone. Extremely pleased!

This is the one I got, but in black leather:

Had been looking for one myself, bought a "flipside" on Amazon, but have not received it yet. Today, by chance, in found the "secrid" in a store, and bought it happily... much nice look feel than it seems with flipside and I have two co workers who have the secrid for 3-4 years and they still look pretty new... managed to have 6 cards in ... works well (2 embossed, 4 non)

You might want to use STOCard on iOS and Android for your FF/loyalty cards. I don't carry a single one anymore. Haven't had a single issue with scanning or the like. All I have in my Secrid wallet is Driver's license, Nexus, two credit cards, and a debit card. I have the black elastic that holds my hotel key card as well.

Very cool! I downloaded the app, and getting all my cards loaded up! Thanks! ^
