Which RFID Blocking Wallets work is a key question on many peoples minds. Below I have selected and ranked the best RFID blocking wallets, based on blocking capabilities, looks, capacity, and quality.
[table id=3 /]
1. Mt Eston RFID Blocking Trifold Bifold Men’s Leather Wallet
For me, this wallet is in a league of its own and truly deserves the title of best RFID blocking wallet. It offers great protection from card skimmers and is made from top-quality leather with brilliant stitching. This wallet looks very stylish and boasts the largest card capacity from my top 8, at 18. The customer service from Mt Eston is second to none which gives peace of mind when purchasing. Anyone who has had a poor product has had it replaced straight away, no questions asked! The wallet arrives in a gift box making it a perfect present.
This wallet impressed me so much that it has become my personal wallet which I use every day.
2. Tommy Hilfiger Slim Men’s Leather Wallet
Tommy Hilfiger has produced an amazing range of RFID blocking wallets, varying in style and color making sure there is a perfect choice for everyone. The wallet arrives in a high-quality gift box which makes this the perfect present. Made from 100% genuine leather Tommy Hilfiger maintains their high-quality brand image with these wallets.
The wallet has 6 slots for cards and identification, making it a slim lightweight wallet perfect if you don’t require a bulky wallet. The only reason this wallet hasn’t taken the number one position in this review is that Mt Eston provides an equally high-quality wallet but offers better RFID blocking abilities.
3. Buffway Slim Minimalist Front Pocket Wallet
This wallet is perfect for anyone who is looking for a small lightweight wallet that also has a surprising amount of space available. The quality of stitching is very good as long as you don’t overfill, if overfilled this can lead to ripping. Another bonus to this well-designed wallet is that Buffway offers a very broad selection of wallets to suit all tastes. The wallet offers good protection but Mt Eston is slightly superior.
This wallet is the least expensive of the ones reviewed which is amazing for the quality of product!
4. Timberland Men’s Slim Leather Wallet
Timberland renowned shoe manufacturers sell a wide range of accessories from watches to sunglasses. One of their product ranges is wallets, some of which include RFID blocking. As with the Timberland brand, everything they make is exceptionally high quality and these wallets are the same. Their slim RFID Blocking leather wallet comes in a range of 4; black, dark brown, teak, and wheat. The wallet is quite slimline and can hold 6 cards and has one additional ID sleeve. The ID sleeve is my least favorite feature of this wallet as it is on the outside and one key reason why it doesn’t rank higher in my review. If it weren’t for the external ID sleeve the wallet would be quite visually appealing.
On the plus side, Timberlands wallets offer good RFID blocking/jamming capabilities and arrive in a good gift box. Unfortunately, there is some difference between the described color and what arrives but typically isn’t too far from expected.
Overall, this is a good all-around wallet but lacks the looks of some competitors and the blocking capabilities of Mt Eston.
5. Stealth Mode Leather Bifold Men’s RFID Wallet
Stealth Mode is a good all-around wallet, with significant hold capacity and style. The wallet looks extremely good in beige but is slightly let down by the ID slots cut out looking a little cheap. The wallet has 8 card slots that can hold 12 cards comfortably, the joint second-highest behind Mt Eston. Protection from this wallet is also very high and matches that of Buffway.
Some customers have had problems with the stitching of this wallet, and others have had problems with card slots tearing at the sides. This has only happened to a small percentage of people and didn’t happen to my wallet. Still, this is something to be aware of when buying.
A final positive to this wallet is the gift box and handwritten note this wallet come with. It creates a nice experience when opening, and makes a great gift.
6. Simideo Men’s Leather Blocking Wallet
The protection given by this wallet is brilliant, and Simideo is proud to boast their military-grade blocking material. Along with the great protection, the wallet will hold 12 cards the same as stealth mode the second-highest reviewed. The wallet is made from genuine leather and has nice stitching although I am not a fan of the folding ID compartment.
7. Sharkk Large Aluminum Wallet With RFID Protection
The wallet will give you the greatest peace of mind when it comes to protecting yourself from card skimming. Its full aluminum case gives all-round protection while remaining lightweight. Inside the wallet holds 9 cards in total, rivaling the Buffway. Unfortunately for me, this is where the positives start to run dry. I am not a big fan of the style of this wallet and think the plastic lining is cheap looking. The wallet uses a plastic latch that is not designed well and is likely to break much sooner than anyone would want.
8. Teng Slim & Minimalist Men’s RFID Wallet
This is one of the most stylish wallets being reviewed, it has a very sleek design with great-looking leather. This is the smallest wallet and so has the lowest card capacity. If you are looking for a small wallet this may be the perfect one for you. This wallet has a quick access card slot which is good if you’re in a rush. Although, this does leave a card visible from the outside. I’m not a fan of this feature as it feels like you’d be more at risk of card skimming.
