(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 19, 2013 ) Beaverton, OR -- RFID Blocking sleeves from CARMick Products offer value that far exceeds their purchase price.
Identity Theft and fraud can result from the acts of ePickpocketing or digital skimming. Each of these has costs that are immeasurable, far exceeding the cash value of any assets lost or stolen. Peace of mind and the ability to go about one's daily affairs are known by its many victims to be very real consequences of these criminal activities.
Current technology means that people with inexpensive RFID scanners ![]()

and NFC-enabled Smartphones can accomplish these feats easily. Unlike other forms of theft, they do not need to have contact with the card. Simple radio waves allow them to do it discretely, even while the cards or documents are in your wallet, bag, purse or pocket.
Information available on Wikipedia, from the Identity Theft Center and other sources indicate the average value of an incident of Identity Theft in 2009 was on the order of $4,841. That cost does not include the time and effort applied by the victim to recover control nor the upset and distress.
Priced at around $20 to $25 during the current sale, the simple wallet card holders provide insurance against incidents such as this. Rick Dondo, Director of ID Preserver Brand Marketing for the company stated "We believe the peace of mind alone is worth far more than the purchase price. We think everyone should have some and that they make great gifts at this special time of year, showing one cares about the security and dreams of their family and friends."
The durable wallet card-sized sleeves provide special protection for contactless Smartcards. Standard credit cards are known to be subject to wear and tear and the magnetic stripes and contact chips can be protected as well. This additional convenience feature is another part of the value the protectors provide.
Likewise, the equally durable larger sleeves found only in the Combo Pack protect a standard US passport from unauthorized scans. They contain a similar RFID-based chip that can be read at a distance. The jackets prevent that from happening. A Passport ID Preserver jacket will hold one US booklet-style passport (3 3/8" x 4 7/8") and fits RFID-enabled documents from other counties such as Canada, Australia, the UK and those of the EU as well.
Customers have been leaving glowing reviews of both products and customer satisfaction is high. Rick Dondo said "We are pleased to see our products are meeting a real need for people across the country. Knowing that and the growing threat of common technology, we will continue to search for new ways to serve them in the future".
The two products can be purchased on Amazon. The 10-pack of credit card sleeves (http://www.amazon.com/Protection-Contactless-Hard-earned-Electronic-Pick-pocketing/dp/B00C9NJ0VG) launched earlier in 2013 and continue to be CARMick Products' top seller.
The Combo Pack, including 10 wallet-sized card holders and 2 RFID-Blocking passport jackets (http://www.amazon.com/Hard-earned-Pickpocketing-Unauthorized-Identifying-Information/dp/B00CGHZOCE) were introduced late in October and many customers have already begun to enjoy the benefits of the protection they afford in their daily lives and when traveling.
The products are unique in the industry and are pending patent approval. The durable sleeves are compliant with the US Government's FIPS-201 standard as an electromagnetically opaque sleeve.
