Review on Tabbed Men's Leather Architect Blocking Bifold Accessories by David Pearson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a little big, a little bulky, but it allows you to crack it a little and it's a great wallet.

I LOVE THIS wallet. I've been using digital payment services for a while and I don't carry any cards with me. I have a case where I can store my driver's license and the rest in one of the paid apps. Until I got my new Samsung S9+. The case for it is very cool but there is no place for your driver's license or cards as that would block the view. So, I'm the guy who uses Farraday cells on his cell phone to put it in perspective. I'm a data scientist and do a lot of security research, and I'm well aware of both the vulnerabilities that RFID creates and the benefits. Does it block the signal? Yes, but if you're really concerned, a Farradi cage can help add a security advocate depending on what you're storing. What's so cool about the rest? First, it has a clip that keeps things secure. You have room for lots of pictures and maps, and you can put lots of blocking elements that won't take away from your space or functionality. And the design allows you to invest a lot of money in it without looking bulky. I know I had a chiropractor tell me that my back wasn't okay, partly because I was sitting on my purse and taking turns. IDK the perks of that, but I felt sick lugging around a lot of cash. I travel a lot and have to carry cash because too often fraud alerts give me trouble. You can easily put 2k in here and not notice it. I had a whopping 5,000 in $100 bills and I noticed, but barely. It took up less space than much smaller wallets. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's big, it looks more like many women's wallets than a typical men's wallet. But to tell you the truth, I don't want to draw any attention to my wallet and I'm fine with that. Stick it in your coat pocket or somewhere other than your back pocket, many pickpockets might not even know what it is at first (well, I'm probably getting a little stressed). In any case, anything that begins to be safe for you to conveniently store USB sticks and Fido or Yubikeys is to be commended. It's a great product and while the RFID parade is a bit premature it's getting closer and whether you're the 100th victim or the 100,000. Victims are, you don't want to be a victim. Do yourself a favor, buy a farraday cage/case for your phone, buy this type of wallet, buy some farraday blocking material to harden it so you can store IoT devices in it (yes, you really can) and people can. They have their own detectors installed with large sums of money. It's worth every penny.
