RFID Blocking Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I tested this out on a tap to pay reader while my card was in the sleeve and it wouldn’t read my card as soon as I took it out it worked. THESE WORK!"
• "Bought this as the town I live in has been having an issue with card skimming."
• "I tested them and they do block RFID signal."
• "I can tell you that they work, because I took an RFID card out of my wallet with one of these sleeves on it and attempted to tap to pay for gas today."
• "I was skeptical at how effective these would really be. I can tell you, these 100% block he RFID signal."
• "We tried the boxiki security card holder with a card reader machine in a supermarket. It work effectively."
• "First, I tested the cards inside the sleeves, and in all tests with the sleeves the RFID terminals could NOT read the cards' RFID chips."

Cons:

• "Although we cannot attest to the protective factor since there’s no way to determine if they are affective during a hack without staging a test."
• "To be sure they worked, we tested all twelve sleeves with different cards and every card in every sleeve could be read without being removed from the sleeve."
• "I bought these for a family vacation thinking our cards would be protected. My son was able to tap his card on the credit card screen while in the protective sleeve and it still accepted the information."
• "I tried scanning my card with the sleeve on at a few stores and can confirm that the sleeves worked as advertised."
• "I tried waving this over the scanner with the cover on. I did it several times in different scanners at different stores. It only worked once the sleeve was off."
• "I tested these by placing it in the sleeve and trying to use it at two different stores and it would not take my credit card."

• "Color coded, durable RFID sleeves make it easy to identify the credit cards stored."

Cons:

• "The covers are made of a mylar like material, looks like a thicker version of a potato bag."
• "The covers are poorly made and fall apart very easily."
• "Only good for about 2 weeks, then the paper splits or the holder comes undone because the glue gives out."
• "These are very nice to look at but they rip so easily definitely don’t hold up like they should.. I wish these were thicker."
• "They are so flimsy if you squeeze the sides to open them to insert your card, they will not open, the entire packet just bends."
