Vaultskin VAULTCARD - RFID Blocking & Jamming Credit & Debit Card Protection for Wallet and Passport - Superior NFC Anti-Theft, Patented Multi-Card Defense

A very nice item, which should keep all your valuable credit card details safe from potentialtheft.

These wallets are amazingly good quality. They fit neatly into a wallet or a purse, and you can completely relax knowing all your cards are safe from card readers. And trust me, after suffering from this type of scam recently, I searched for the best defence I could find.

The brief summary: I've tested it, it works fine, I haven't had any issues with store theft warning detectors (though with a minor caveat).More detail: my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) has an NFC coil which is capable of talking to contactless bank cards with the right software, which works just fine on my card. Sitting the bank card on top of the Vaultcard completely prevents it from being detected by the phone, as expected. This also works when there's separation between the Vaultcard and the bank card (which is closer to the reader than the Vaultcard). If I put the bank card directly against the back of the phone and then hold the Vaultcard at some distance behind the phone, I get nothing from the bank card until the Vaultcard is at least 5 centimetres away. This basically means that you can indeed shield multiple cards with one of these.If your adversary has a more directional, high-gain antenna, I'd expect that the protected distance would be less, but still within the dimensions of an ordinary wallet. Also note that while the coil antenna in RFID cards (both bank cards, and the Vaultcard jammer) is very directional, with the strongest signal coming out of the flat faces of the card (I can't read my bank card when it's at right-angles to my phone, even if I touch the thin edge right against the back of the device), the Vaultcard emits a strong enough signal out of the thin face to prevent reading my bank card until the Vaultcard is at least 3 centimetres away. This means that if your wallet has a "dangly" flap for more cards which protrudes out of the middle when you open the wallet, sticking the Vaultcard in the middle will still offer some protection for your other cards even if your wallet is open.The minor caveat: the Vaultcard in my wallet did not set off the one supermarket theft alarm system which I have so far walked through since getting it, but I've also got an RF-shielding wallet (Visconti Mens Leather Wallet For Cards, Notes With RFID Fraud Protection - TSC42 (Black) which is equally effective at stopping my phone from detecting the bank card, even at point-blank range) which may have stopped the store detector from seeing anything at all. Do I need both of these? Probably not. But it's not exactly causing any harm.

It was bought as a gift but it seems robust

I’ve been using the Vaultskin VAULTCARD for a few days now, and I can confidently say it delivers on what it promises. If you're someone who values security but doesn’t want to overcomplicate things, this is a great solution.What really stood out to me is how simple yet effective it is. You just slip it into your wallet like a regular card—no setup, no batteries, nothing to recharge. Once it’s there, it protects not just one card but multiple ones around it by jamming RFID and NFC signals. That means your contactless cards stay safe from potential skimming without needing bulky metal sleeves or special wallets.Another big plus is that the VAULTCARD doesn’t interfere with everyday use. When I want to tap a card, I just take it out of the wallet—quick and easy. The design is sleek too, so it fits right in with your other cards without adding any noticeable bulk.Knowing this product is patented and specifically engineered for signal blocking gives me peace of mind. It’s a small investment for a big layer of protection, especially if you travel often or spend time in crowded places where digital pickpocketing is a risk.Overall, the Vaultskin VAULTCARD is a smart and convenient way to protect your cards and personal data. It’s one of those products you quickly forget is there, but you’re glad it is.

This card is great. I tested it a few times in different shops. It does not allow payment through your bag / wallet. You have to take your card out to do payment. Just what I needed. 5 star *****

Good

Bought this "card vault" to fit inside my new wallet, I have tried the contactless payment system in 5 different shops and each time failed to make the payments, which indicates this vault card works. I have 4 credit cards inside my wallet.Its slightly thicker than a normal credit card. Vault card is approx 1.3mm thick against a normal credit card being 0.8mm thick.Its a great product to protect all your credit cards in your wallet.
