Metal options are great because they maintain their grip on your cards over time and stand up to daily wear and tear without ripping or getting scratched, but they typically have limited storage space. Wallets made from leather and fabrics have card slots that stretch over time, making it easier to get your cards out, but also may result in accidentally pulling all of your cards out when you're just trying to reach for one. RFID-blocking wallets don't just come in metal or techie synthetics-the blocking technology can be built into leather, nylon ripstop, and other fabrics, meaning you can find one to fit your style. There are plenty of options to choose from when searching for a wallet to hold your daily necessities and giving you that little extra layer of protection and peace of mind. Some wallets have blocking technology built into just one pocket, but others have an entire exterior made with it to ensure you have nothing to worry about.

RFID-blocking technology is essentially a fabric material that blocks scanners from transmitting nefarious frequencies through your wallet to your cards. RFID-or radio frequency identification-theft is a rare occurrence, but it happens in high traffic areas despite the fact that it's easily preventable. Plus, nobody wants to be mid-travel when they realize their card's been locked due to suspicious activity. RFID-blocking wallets protect your banking information from being scanned and stolen via the chips on your credit cards, and while your bank likely has your back if this happens, an RFID-blocking wallet is an easy extra step of security. The same goes for protecting your money, even in digital form.

We put cameras on our front doors and maybe even have one inside to watch what our pets are doing while we're away, but it's not because we're paranoid-it's because security gives us peace of mind.
