Lock Wallet - RFID Blocking Wallet for Men and Women – Protection from Identity Theft

I ordered this for my husband to replace the one he had for 4 years of everyday use. Boy...was I disappointed. If I could give less than 1 star I would. First, the package as seen...As Seen on TV..in the upper right corner was not on my package. Second...the package was opened befor I received it. Not the Amazon box...the actual plastic wrapping of the item. Third...the wallet looked used despite the fact someone placed a 'new' label on it. Fourth..the inside piece that holds your card and pictures was not connected to the wallet. It fell out as soon as it was unzipped. That's why I ordered a new one...after 4 years that is what happened to my husband original wallet. Why would I want a wallet that came that way...new?? I have read other reviews of the product quality of some of Amazon's other vendors with similar complaints. With the increase in the Prime program, maybe Amazon vendors need to vetted better. Bottom line...returned it!

This company preys on your ignorance. Not only that, the product itself is cheaply made. The people who buy these kinds of aftermarket products have been fooled. And what's worse, they don't believe it.The one question any intelligent person would would ask is, Why would the older debit and credit cards be SAFER than the newer ones with the RFID (radio frequency identification) chip if stealing the information on those cards is so easy? It's not. There are two kinds of RFID cards, passive and active. Active RFID cards have a power source of their own (e.g. a battery) and transmit it's own signal, while the passive RFID readers are the ones banks and credit cards are now issuing.The package at the top says as one of its selling points, "Stop electronic Pick Pocketing". I laughed at how this was phrased. But identity theft and having your bank account or credit cards compromised or used without your authorization is no laughing matter, and I was initially concerned about "over the air piracy", just like you, so I did research.The major lie this company passes off is the scene of a lady and her handbag, with her RFID debit and credit cards inside, beaming out waves of her personal information for anyone to steal. This is a flat-out deception, as passive RFID cards (the ones you're issued) do NOT "beam" anything out, since there is no power supply behind it. This company should be shut down right there for such a blatant falsehood. RFID chip readers need to be DIRECTLY connected to the cards; they cannot "grab" information out of thin air unless there is a power supply behind it. Do you see a battery anywhere on your credit or debit cards? Of course not.So, this company is telling me I have to return my nice Docker's wallet because the RFID waves can penetrate the thick, bonded leather and just broadcast my name and personal information, all without a power source behind it. Today's credit and debit card RFID-chip transactions use 256-bit encryption which are good for one transaction only, and cannot be reused, and the card has to be physically plugged in to the card reader.256-bit encryption is refers to the length of the encryption key used to encrypt a data stream or file. A hacker or encryption cracker will require (2 to the 256th power) different combinations to break a 256-bit encrypted message, which is virtually impossible to be broken by even the fastest computers. That number is 78 digits long: 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,936.A thief would need this many different combinations to "break the lock" and actually have a transaction go through. This is important knowledge beneficial to the community under fair use of copyright laws and needs to be promulgated to eliminate consumers' fears about identity theft and having their financial information invaded or stolen. From Wiki: "Since RFID tags can be attached to cash, clothing, and possessions, or implanted in animals and people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised serious privacy concerns.[2] These concerns resulted in standard specifications development addressing privacy and security issues. ISO/IEC 18000 and ISO/IEC 29167 use on-chip cryptography methods for untraceability, tag and reader authentication, and over-the-air privacy. ISO/IEC 20248 specifies a digital signature data structure for RFID and barcodes providing data, source and read method authenticity. This work is done within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 Automatic identification and data capture techniques." This ISO/IEC JTC 1 is "a joint technical committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its purpose is to develop, maintain and promote standards in the fields of information technology (IT) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT)" that has the sharpest minds on the planet working for you to protect your invaluable personal data and financial information.The security features of today's debit and credit cards ARE IN THE CARDS THEMSELVES, and not any aftermarket product or feature that the RFID chip developers forgot about. Even if by some means someone stole your credit or debit card information (which is impossible, unless you give your credit card number and expiration date over the phone and the person on the other end misuses it), you make one phone call and the banks will be all over it like a fumbled football. You will not be held responsible for any unauthorized charges, even the LockWallet makers know this, and you will be reimbursed for any losses once you, as the referee, toss your penalty flag, you can start over at the line of scrimmage. So to speak.Your RFID credit and debit cards are completely safe on their own, as long as you don't lend them out.So, continue to enjoy your coffee or tea and have a wonderful day!

The large cover photo of this item shows the original "as sold/advertised on TV" printed on the insert that fits between the hard plastic cover. This item arrived with the TV logo in red missing. It is a poor knock-off of the original Lock Wallet. I own one given to me as a gift three years ago. It is embossed on the back with the Lock logo. The front wallet insert has small semi-circle cut out for ease in removing whatever is placed in that slot. Furthermore, this is advertised to have the ability to display 36 cards and photos. This one only had 16 plastic inserts, capacity 32 cards and photos. When zipped, it came unglued at the seam on one side.

It may not be made of the highest quality material, but I honestly think this may be my favorite wallet ever. The simplicity of the design is excellent. I find the 'classic' men's wallet designs to be unnecessarily convoluted with all the excess pockets, making you always do a scavenger hunt for cards you rarely use. This design stops that and makes finding a card as simple as flipping through pages of a small book.I had bought one originally a couple years ago, locally, and used it till it was almost completely beaten apart. The plastic card-holder "book" came apart from the seam after about a year and a lot of the slips started to tear and peel apart, a couple no longer being able to hold a card in them at all. Basically, just like any other budget-priced wallet, it falls apart after about a year or so.So yeah, it's just another cheaply-made wallet. But the simple design has stuck with me and I think I'll stick with it for a long while.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. The wallet I received is hardly what is advertised, as it’s a terrible item overall. The sellers make it seem a lot better than it really is. The “30 card slots” that it boasts aren’t really attached to the wallet, are thin and flimsy, and would bounce around freely inside the wallet (imagine if you DID put credit cards inside of it and then lost them all after they accidentally fell out JUST because it wasn’t attached TO the wallet). The wallet itself only has four slots built in for cards and no room to safely insert money.Aside from the item itself, I also received it in damaged packaging and it looked as if it had already been opened. It goes without saying that I was extremely disappointed with this purchase - especially since it was so expensive - and returned it back to the seller for a full refund. If you want a good wallet with the protection you want, just go to Wal*Mart and buy one in the men’s clothes department (they don’t have any in the women’s department). They have more options and offer better protection for less.

I like how thin the wallet is, and that it has the display window for my driver's license. I hope the little plastic insides last long. That is the only thing I'm a little worried about. So far so good, and it's been about 2 months since I bought it.
