Anti-skimming leather card holders with RFID protection
An anti-skimming card holder is a small leather wallet that protects your payment cards from wireless scanning. This collection includes models from Hide & Stitches, Bear Design, ByMetz, Double_D, Charm London and dR Amsterdam: from compact card holders for cards only to models with a zipped coin compartment and a compartment for banknotes.
How does RFID protection work in a card holder?
Contactless payment cards send their data wirelessly via RFID. An anti-skimming card holder has a layer in the material that blocks this signal. This means no one can scan your card without you noticing while it is in your pocket or bag. You can simply take the card out of the holder to pay.
Which anti-skimming card holder suits you?
If you only carry cards, choose a compact model with a flap or press stud. Do you also want space for coins and banknotes? Then choose a model with a zipped compartment at the back and a compartment for banknotes. The ByMetz card holder, for example, has room for seven cards, banknotes and coins. A double model, such as the Idaho Double Safety Wallet, offers extra space; you can find more models from this brand at Hide & Stitches.
How do you care for a leather card holder?
Wipe the leather with a dry, soft cloth and occasionally use a leather care product. Waxed leather changes in colour and shine with use; this is part of the material. Let a wet card holder dry at room temperature, not on a radiator.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an anti-skimming card holder and a regular wallet? A card holder is smaller and designed for cards, sometimes with a small compartment for coins. A regular wallet has more compartments and does not always offer RFID protection. Looking for a larger model? Take a look at the men's wallets or women's wallets.
Are there anti-skimming card holders for women? Yes. Colours range from black and cognac to green and brown. Card holders specially designed for women can be found at women's card holders; you can find all leather models at leather card holders.
