Review on Card Holder For Back Of Phone RFID 5 Pull Credit Card Cash Cell Wallet Pocket Canva Leather Case For Smartphones (Grey) by Patrick Ross

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The RFID protection is questionable.

This wallet does everything I need except I'm not so sure about RFID. I bought this about a month ago. It contains my ID and four credit cards. I love the feel and easy access to the cards with the slide out slots. The material and the workmanship are of high quality. Many reviews say that the adhesive is not very good, but on the contrary, I have an iPhone XR with a transparent case, and it holds very securely even with five cards inserted. I'm mainly concerned with the RFID protection. While I can't PROVE it yet, I don't think RFID is very secure. Like I said, I just bought it and started using it right away. I have an AMEX card that fits straight into the first slot, face out. Personally, I rarely use this card. Two days ago I was visiting a mall in Houston, Texas and one day I used the card at a very famous restaurant at lunch with my daughter. I stopped using the card that day. Although there was a moment when I sat down on one of those massage chairs in the middle of the mall. My daughter pocketed $2 in cash and I noticed that the chair had a wireless "phone charger" attached to the top of the armrest. I really didn't think it would be possible to charge my phone with this wallet anyway. BUT curiosity got the better of me, and being a techie I had to try and see it. So I put my phone case face down on the "phone charger" and of course it didn't work. Now, two days later, this is the first time I've ever received a fraud alert from AMEX for a $1 charge from FEE.ORG. I have had this card for over five years and have never had a fraud issue. I can only conclude that the "wireless phone charger" on the armrest of this massage chair in the middle of the mall was the culprit. I don't think the RFID stuff in this wallet is secure. Of course I had to cancel my AMEX and request a replacement card. No fun! Now I need to change all billing information for auto draft for multiple accounts.

Pros
  • New phone case design with ring handle
Cons
  • Not bad but...
