RFID Protection sleeves, purses, etc...

Will someone educate me, please? What's to stop a thief from getting your info when you take your credit card out of the protective sleeve when you're paying for an item? As soon as you remove it aren't you just as vulnerable again?

Nothing would prevent a thief from taking the info when the card is being used. Hopefully you'd notice someone standing that close or being very attentive.

Those items seem like such a waste.

It's the percentages - your cards are protected the majority of the time. Better to be protected all the time except for the minute it's out to swipe than not be protected at all, IMHO.
