IT WORKS!!! I made my own sleeve out of the materials you showed and tested it today!!! I went to the store and tapped to pay 3 times, but it did not go through. Then, I took my credit card out of the sleeve, retapped it and it processed immediately! Thank you for the helpful video!!!
This is great! You can't always trust that a wallet advertised as RFID blocking is really able to do that. I had an RFID blocking wallet that worked, evidenced by holding the wallet that contained my work badge up to the locker room entry tag, which then did NOT allow me to open the door. That wallet wore out. I bought another wallet advertised as having RFID blocking, but when my badge was in this wallet, the sensor on the locker room door easily recognized it and granted me admission. I love this wallet, so THANK YOU! I can now make it an RFID blocking wallet.
You can still be safe creditcard wise, usually access badges work on higher frequencies that some wallets won’t stop while still protecting your other cards.
Can we all take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief that RFID theft never really became a widespread thing? Turns out it's much, much easier for thieves to write programs that can clone thousands of credit cards from online databases than it is for them to carry a handheld scanner around.
I started using the foil idea about 15 or20 years ago when I unwrapped one of those little cameras that look like the old Kodak 110's and decided to save the little tin foil pouch it came wrapped in. It was a waterproof camera, not sure if that mattered or not. Then one day I was reading about people scanning your cards while you had no idea, say you were standing in line. Or, they can do it when they walk by you. Well, I save everything that even looks like it might be useful someday. the little tin pouch looked very useful to me so I saved it.For some reason people thought I was stupid! But I made a little wallet sized pouch that fits right in my regular wallet out of the foil pouch they used to cover the camera in before they put it in the outer foil pouch with all the printing, UPC seal, etc.and then I put the little pouch, with too many cards, which was one of the reasons my mom and everyone else thought I would be very sorry using tin foil and thinking I was doing such a good job that nobody told me to do?), - shows how much faith my mom and everyone else had in me! How could a WOMAN that didn't go to college come up with that idea??? Surely she is dreaming! I guess mom thought they would scan all my cards inside my wallet and me bankrupt me. Guess what? People don't look at me like I am stupid/crazy anymore! Guess what! I'm still using the same little pouch! I'm thinking I should make a new one. I bet I could find some pretty foil this time! Thanks for listening.
Forgot to mention that I wrapped the little pouch with clear packing tape, hoping that would protect it. It worked. That packing tape is sooooo handy. It makes shoe boxes last forever! 😊
Wow, you have some great ideas, you don't need to go to college to be brilliant. Never give up on your creativity, we need more people like you solving problems!
Just got my first bank card and license, im new to adulting i guess, but this gives me peace of mind in the case that a cheap wallet case for my phone will actually work as long as i have tinfoil and tape lol. Thank you!
This was just what I was looking for. I got a wallet phone case but this one didn't have RFID protection so now I'm trying to find a fix. I actually have some of that tape from a project years ago. Thanks!
Have you considered getting card sleeves for trading card games like Magic the Gathering, and putting the silver duct tape on those to make a protective pouch more easily?
You can also take a piece of cardboard not so thick and cover it with aluminum foil and wrap it around with clear tape and it protect also, all my wallets have one👍👍👍👍👍
I considered regular foil and it would work for a while and you'd need at least 2 to 3 layers. My concern is if you bend your wallet, over time the layers would break and the signals would get through. Thanks for your question, its a good one!
Fernest, yes I did and since the video have tested the shield on a regular basis every chance I get when I go somewhere new. Works all the time. Thanks for you comment.
Just watched your great video. I wondered if it would work if I used a few layers of aluminum foil, laminated to keep them together. The wallet that I want to protect would just need a front and back not a long note section that would need to be folded. Going to give it a try.
If you use about 3 layers of mylar lined chip bag, it does work to block GPS on a phone. There's another video on youtube about this. If it can block GPS on a phone, i would say its worth testing on an RFID NFC chip, with say a bus riding/subway transit card to see if it reads through on the reader.
Thanks for the great tips. Could you do the same thing using plain old aluminum foil and clear packing tape? maybe add a piece of copy paper for sturdiness? I am happy to go buy some aluminum duct tape, but I already have aluminum foil. Thanks.
Most of the real world places where I tested it wouldn't let me film the results for various security reasons. Still trying to figure out how to demo...
@@MakeItorBreakItNowMany thanks for this vid, any update to this follow up? I am the trust but verify kinda guy. Love the idea and believe it works but be great to see.
@Make It or Break It Van Halen Rocks. My 2 personal favorites when driving are Pink Floyd, Journey, with Steve Perry, Pearl Jam, and Michael Oldfield with Tubular Bells.
I tested it against a 12-24 security doors, and numerous professional grade scanners of different makes and models. The results were consistent - the inablity to scan the chips.
What kind ofduct tape? The shiny one the real "duct"tape for ac/heating ducts?? I like the space saving smaller pocket wallet where I slide cards I'd $ into it.ill try your diy soon.
How to test if the wallet is skimmable? Phone's NFC or the usual Arduino shields are finicky to get to work at the best of conditions, for a reason, they aren't designed for abuse; skimmers probably use substantially more powerful RFID antennas, such as ones that are part of access control parking systems. I mean by all reason the shielding should work, but it's not convincing unless validated.
I understand your point. These have been tested in the realworld on all sorts of entry systems. The problem is I can't show you the tests since most security folks don't like things like that to be recorded. I would publish the video if they didn't work.
The tape is thicker, and less fragile. You can get some for around $6 and has many uses so its really worth the investment. Here's a link to some tape I use: amzn.to/3L4VM7J
Is this method more protective than just using a piece of aluminum foil, which i hear isnt foolproof? Is the aluminum duct tape more protective? Also, does it have to be a certain industrial grade of aluminum duct tape or are general purpose types just as good?
@@MakeItorBreakItNow The aluminum layer on the duct tape is thinner than normal aluminum foil in a roll, the only thing that makes it thicker is the adhesive layer. And it is ducting tape not to be confused with "Duck Tape" best material for the wallets is the Copper/Nickel fabric @$13 for 43"x39" roll.
Hello I just found your channel. My 18 yr old had his money stolen out of his debit card when he was paying for his food, from a store near by even though he hadn't gone into that store. They weren't able to get that much money because he had a RFID that I purchased for him. But I am glad that I can make these after seeing your video!!! Where did you buy the roll of metal from? I sew, and would like to know if I make a wallet and put this inside of a wallet with the interfacing aka the structure of the wallet, will it still work protect against any threats? Thank you!!!
Sha-Leine Green, It aluminum foil duct tape, you should be able to find it at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, or similar places in your area. You can also order through Amazon, online.
Mickey, too many layers will be bulky and make it hard to fold the wallet. As long as the first layer is solidly connected, i.e. no gaps that should be all you need. I certainly wouldn't go with more than two.
Is there any way you can create this with the as seen on tv Lock Wallet? The rfid card sleeves are not rfid protected. It was false advertising. I do lov le the lock wallet. Just wondering how you would be able to make it rfid protected? Thank you.
@@MakeItorBreakItNowHey again, When are you going to create, and upload a video on your RUclips Channel on how to make the As Seen On TV Lock Wallet truly RFID Protected? The As Seen On TV Lock Wallet is not RFID Protected. It was false advertisement.
Can they scan through your smartphone. I think not but wanted a second opinion. Because now we have phone wallets with a phone on one side and wallet on the other?
likely, but not at resilient as the Aluminum duct tape which it fairly cheap and I've ended up using it in so many projects now that I have it on hand...
Is it insanity that in the 80s when the banking industry learned of how this can be exploited - they stopped making this type of RFID card, and yet now we all have to deal with this bs again?
Go Home, I've tried it. You need several layers and the foil is brittle so then you need to give a backing of something like duct tape, and by the time you've done all that you might as well by the the aluminum tape.
There's all kinds of RFID wallets out there so can tell how good yours might be. Never hurts to add another layer just in case. Although I found using this card pocket on my cell phone works great. The EMI coming from the phone jams any card sniffers... ruclips.net/video/TCrgjF-QSCc/видео.html
@@MakeItorBreakItNow i did and worked fine. At work we need two cards and if they are together, doesn't work. I placed a foil in between to try and worked. I got the aluminum tape. I got it because I can do for the coworkers. Thanks thanks

Have you considered getting card sleeves for trading card games like Magic the Gathering, and putting the silver duct tape on those to make a protective pouch more easily?
demonzero677, actually yes, although I've been testing cheaper playing cards and even old store or credit cards, stay tuned for that video
I'll try this one too. I have lots of sports trading cards sleeves I mostly carry 1 cred card.
You can also take a piece of cardboard not so thick and cover it with aluminum foil and wrap it around with clear tape and it protect also, all my wallets have one👍👍👍👍👍
Lisa, great idea, thanks for sharing.
Yes, but that sounds thicker...
Could i use a milk carton, coz they are also made from paper, alu foil and plastic foil?
Lorf Valentine, I guess you could. Never thought about using a milk carton. The plastic jugs we typically get or just clear plastic.
Love this but can you use regular aluminum foil? Thanks
I considered regular foil and it would work for a while and you'd need at least 2 to 3 layers. My concern is if you bend your wallet, over time the layers would break and the signals would get through. Thanks for your question, its a good one!
Nice! Now i can make a $10 ridge wallet
tron pig, yes, yes, you can.
I have been using the alum tape in the wallet - it covers both sides of the cardboard insert. No white side. Is this ok?
It should, but there are thinner options, plan to post the video soon.
I've read tyvek works. You could use a used tyvek mailer envelope as the "paper" layer.
Maybe, but the tyvek I'm familiar with doesn't contain metal.
thanks a million!
We do not have this narrow alluminum tape in Serbia; can I make it with the usual kitchen- used one?
