Nothing too exciting, but recently experimented with sewing old Inner tubes.
Cracking material to to work with, the slightly stretchy and grippy nature makes for a very good wallet.

Currently holds 2 cards, RFID blocker, medical information, credit card size multitool and a few folded notes. Very secure and thin, comfortable in a back pocket, and you know, eco-recycling and all that :-bd

Just get 2 x FRID credit cards, they cancel each other out/make them difficult to skim/scan. :wink:

I wish it was that fancy, although I am looking into thin blockers for fabric wallets, probably difficult to sew into an inner tube though.
I just use a poly business card that doubles as a blocker, came free with a concealed wallet I bought a while back

Incase you haven't noticed, I'm quite prepared (read: Paranoid) regarding personal security, money and the sort.
Now if you'll excuse me I've got to make another tinfoil hat :ugeek:

If you're that paranoid, just hole punch the chip out of the card.

I have at least 2 x contactless cards in my wallet, I've discovered that they scramble the signal somewhat when together so you can't skim them.
Very easy to read the chips using a decent smartphone ;-)
