Tested in several conditions, works perfectly.
The brief summary: I've tested it, it works fine, I haven't had any issues with store theft warning detectors (though with a minor caveat).More detail: my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) has an NFC coil which is capable of talking to contactless bank cards with the right software, which works just fine on my card. Sitting the bank card on top of the Vaultcard completely prevents it from being detected by the phone, as expected. This also works when there's separation between the Vaultcard and the bank card (which is closer to the reader than the Vaultcard). If I put the bank card directly against the back of the phone and then hold the Vaultcard at some distance behind the phone, I get nothing from the bank card until the Vaultcard is at least 5 centimetres away. This basically means that you can indeed shield multiple cards with one of these.If your adversary has a more directional, high-gain antenna, I'd expect that the protected distance would be less, but still within the dimensions of an ordinary wallet. Also note that while the coil antenna in RFID cards (both bank cards, and the Vaultcard jammer) is very directional, with the strongest signal coming out of the flat faces of the card (I can't read my bank card when it's at right-angles to my phone, even if I touch the thin edge right against the back of the device), the Vaultcard emits a strong enough signal out of the thin face to prevent reading my bank card until the Vaultcard is at least 3 centimetres away. This means that if your wallet has a "dangly" flap for more cards which protrudes out of the middle when you open the wallet, sticking the Vaultcard in the middle will still offer some protection for your other cards even if your wallet is open.The minor caveat: the Vaultcard in my wallet did not set off the one supermarket theft alarm system which I have so far walked through since getting it, but I've also got an RF-shielding wallet (Visconti Mens Leather Wallet For Cards, Notes With RFID Fraud Protection - TSC42 (Black) which is equally effective at stopping my phone from detecting the bank card, even at point-blank range) which may have stopped the store detector from seeing anything at all. Do I need both of these? Probably not. But it's not exactly causing any harm.

Awesome piece of kit
Right. So most of the time the "anti skimming cards" are just a bunch of aluminum/metal barriers to protect against skimming. Requiring you to have a lot of them in your wallet. This one works as advertised. It protect my cards even if in the back. And more funnily if you test it with your phone and an nfc reader app you can see that no data can be skimmed. The fun part? Once you bring your phone close. A massive magnetic field is created. You can feel it when trying to move the cards. I am not sure of the impact on the magnetic strip. But hey. I have ordered multiple of them and gift them to friends for birthday. A must have!!!!

Effectiveness
Bought this "card vault" to fit inside my new wallet, I have tried the contactless payment system in 5 different shops and each time failed to make the payments, which indicates this vault card works. I have 4 credit cards inside my wallet.Its slightly thicker than a normal credit card. Vault card is approx 1.3mm thick against a normal credit card being 0.8mm thick.Its a great product to protect all your credit cards in your wallet.

Ideal for wallets and pockets, and simple to use.
Bought this as I was off on holiday to Las Vegas, and presume the chance of having my bank cards being cloned by using the RFID in Sin City I would say was pretty high.Hopefully this device will block all attempts especially high powered scanners.I have not had a chance to try this out for any retail sales yet, but I have tried it at work using the RFID access cards, and it certainly blocks those.After seeing reports on Youtube and other online reviews I am confident this should do the job and clear all fears I may have of taking my cards into a public space, very pleased so far with what I have seen so far.

Patent pending technology which works
I am skeptical about the technology, and I bought it just to see if it actually worked or not. Great news, it seems to work! It's small, light and can fit right in to any wallet. Seems to block and even "jam" any signals directed at RFID. Can even accidentally confuse and reset some card readers which support Tap to Pay. Discovered this when I accidentally held my wallet too close while I was paying. Great tool for keeping your details safe.Just don't do what I did as you will get some stares.

Simply doesn't work
Received the card yesterday and thought I'd test it. I was able to pay using my contactless payment card in M&S, even though I was holding the Vaultcard back to back with my contactless payment card, with the two cards touching at all points. The transaction was approved with no problem. Hardly confidence inspiring. I guess they get away with selling a product that doesn't work because most people never test it.
