The listing, Protect Your New Smart Card Credit Cards - RFID Blocking Secure Wallet Bi-Fold - Free US Ship has ended.
Apparently for the last year, credit cards are being issued with passive RFID. That is there are chips in the cards that are activated by radio waves from detectors at checkout. The chips then respond back with your credit card number and info. Thieves can do the same thing as the checkout machines.
Here is the description:
"Protect yourself from payment fraud and identity theft. Did you know that many credit cards, drivers’ licenses, transit cards, government identification cards, school, hospital, and company identification cards, and all passport cards have a Radio-Frequency-IDentification chip embedded inside them? These chips allow vendors to scan your credit card quickly at the checkout and allow authorities to scan your ID or passport card from a distance, making border crossing a little faster. However, if your credit cards or identification cards were scanned nefariously, it also makes stealing your identity a whole lot easier.
Identity Stronghold is committed to helping you keep your identity safe. We’ve created a shielding technology that blocks radio waves and prevents scanners from reading the chip inside your cards. That’s why it’s important to keep your cards inside a shielded holder at all times, unless asked by the authority to remove it for inspection.
Our Genuine Leather Bi-Fold wallet features the best RFID shielding in the industry. Every single pocket is entirely shielded individually. This way, when you open your wallet, each card is protected, so thieves cannot consolidate your information.
This wallet will hold up to 6 cards, three on each side of the fold. Even the divided billfold area is shielded.
...
Our wallets will shield all contactless credit cards and debit cards as well as passport cards, enhanced drivers licenses, transit cards, HID iClass cards, TWIC cards, PIV cards, CAC cards, LincPass and others.”
