ID StrongholdIdentity Stronghold Secure Sleeve / Case for ID & Credit Card

Stronghold is a great company, this is a great idea...but having owned these for almost a year and I know we will all have to re-purchase and get new ones as these just don't hold up. It is a paper product lined with a thin foil type substance and if you use your card all the time instead of writing checks...and then slip it back in a 'sleeve' section of your wallet...it just is not meant for every day use.Knowing that...until you buy a wallet that protects everything while the wallet is CLOSED...(the selection is pretty poor for design so far)...then these will do the work of securing from criminals and their hand held readers. They don't even have to be a pick-pocket anymore...just walk & scan near a wallet or purse!I have heard & read that some states have RFID chips in their drivers' license and include these type card covers with the license that is mailed to your home or apartment.

I bought the first sleeves with "A Hope & A Prayer" that one of these would fit in my pocket comfortably. It was wonderful to discover how easily my normal 2 cards - ID & Credit - fit with room for a 3rd when I need it. The sleeve is soft enough to fit snugly but strong enough to withstand daily wear & use. The "extra's" hold & categorize the other necessary cards that must be near-by (medical cards, ATM cards,etc.). Now I'm secure & safe without carrying a bag, wallet, or backpack. Shopping is still fun, my identity is safe, & my shoulders don't get tired. Last week I ordered several more for friends that coveted mine!

I got these thinking there were 3 per pack, but I was mistaken. You are buying 1 sleeve that comes to $10 after shipping. I am purchasing them for my wife and she carries about 9 cards so I wanted to cover her. Well I paid $30 for 3 cards that as another reviewer said were pretty much paper with tinfoil inside. I may just have to spend $50 or $60 on a wallet because it would be much cheaper. I know these probably only cost 25 cents to make so I just feel jipped.

Now, because some lazy drivers can't figure out how to swipe a normal credit card at the pump, the entire rest of the world has to put up with carefully storing and restoring their new RF cards to keep from getting robbed by anybody who happens to pass by with a scanner. You NEED this but you don't have to LIKE it.

Seems like it does what it is supposed to.

The service was as expected. No issues at all as far as sales and delivery of the product. The problem I have is with the product itself. I must confess, I really didn't know what to expect. When the envelope came it was very disappointing! These are nothing but foil lined paper card envelopes! Talk about hassle! Imagine standing in a check out lane trying to pull your credit card out of this thing without destroying it. Then I step aside to try to put it all back together. What a PAIN!I suppose this is to be filed under "live and learn". I'm just thankful it only cost me $15. for the two holders. I recomend to my friends that they find some other way to protect their credit cards.

People with hand held readers can walk past you and scan you numbers without you even knowing that it happened until it is too late, and the shopped you into oblivion. This envelope is supposed to make that happening just not possible. I guess it is working, cause no news and no extra charges that I didn't make is a good thing!

Very awkward getting card into and out of protector, however it does fit well in my wallet. I think I'll try the tin foil suggestion.
