How About an RFID Bi-Fold Credit Card Holder without a wallet?

I do not want to give up the wallets I own.  Would love a slim and lightweight credit card holder in a Bi-Fold with at least one plastic cover slot inside (which would not be outside but protected by the foldover feature of holder) for my Transit Card which has the RFID chip.

 

I have ordered some options that are wallets thinking I can just use them for cards and retain my wallet, but just makes purse too heavy.

 

Some wallets have an outside plastic covered pocket which I am hearing is not protected.  Want to be able to protect transit card, and not have to pull it out of the slot to scan on public transit.

 

If anyone has seen anything like this even at retail, would appreciate advice on where to get it.

 

Guess I should be asking this of the wonderful Lori Grenier who creates a lot of items for QVC.  Hope there is a way this request can be referred to her.

 

Thanks.

Check out the Stealth RFID card on HSN.  Comes 3/pkg.  Thin as paper and  you can slip it in behind your credit card section or any part in your wallet.  I bought a set and gave my DS one and my DS one.  They are wonderful.  Great reviews, too!

research rfid.   A piece of tin foil is all you need.  You may not even need rfid  protection.  It's a sales tactic.

On Amazon I got a small aluminum case with accordion pleats inside that hold credit cards and licenses.   It slips easily into a pocket or a slip pocket in a handbag.   Best RFID solution I've found and very inexpensive.

@LogoFan  Look up RFID card holders on Amazon.  They have lots of different options.

****************I got the large one.  It's 1/4 inch higher and I can get folded checks in there too without making it too tight.

Kachina624 can you give me more information like brand name?  There are so many on Amazon with 20 pages of choice.  Also, does it have an ID clear sleeve for transit ID?

 

Want to be able to use transit card on bus/train without having to remove card from slot but just hold up to farebox.

 

Thanks for any information.

You may not need an RFID folder. It depends what type of ID or CC you are protecting. Please do some research about your CC, and its chip.
