Passport Cover with RFID Block (at last they are on the shop!)

Our handmade passport cover is now available on www.handigift.com and on etsy.

Description:

An elegant way to cover your number 1 travel companion. This is handmade with beautiful printed fabric, high quality shielding fabric and cotton lining.

We use high quality shielding fabric that is based with a rugged plain weave nylon (for superior strength and handling), plated with Nickel and Copper (for excellent shielding, low corrosion, and low toxicity), then coated on one side with conductive acrylic (less than 0.1 Ohm/sq) plus a hot melt (203° – 338°F) adhesive with polyethylene barrier on the other side (for excellent moisture resistance, washability. This shielding fabric is hot ironed to the cotton lining.

Passport Cover offers an amazing shielding performance: 80 dB (99.99%) at 100 MHz; 100 dB (99.99%) at 1 GHz. Will also block virtually all ELF & VLF electric fields. Because of the plastic coatings, it doesn’t breathe well and direct contact may cause skin irritations.

Features:

Exterior: 100% cotton fabric
Interior: Cotton and Special RFID Block Fabric
Size : One-size

* All our products are created in a pet-free and smoke free environment.
** Dry clean for best results
***Due to limited stock of Shielding Fabric, Passport Cover with RFID Block are shipped 21-30 days after purchase. You will be contacted when your order is ready

Test:

As stated in previous blog, this shield was tested in the London Underground. The Oyster cards uses RFID so I just put the card inside my handmade passport cover and voila it is ready for the test.  And the result? It did not read the card inside my passport cover. Another test is using RFID enabled passes to offices and same result. The readers did not read the cards inside the passport cover.

Availability: 

The passport covers are currently available in one fabric – Blue Love. Other prints will be available very soon for you to choose from. Please allow 21-30 days for your passport cover to be made and shipped.

Passport Covers (new)

Finally, new set of passport covers are now available online. Passport Cover with RFID Block is the blue one.

Passport Covers with RFID block

I will soon be accepting orders for Handigift’s top of the range passport cover. This is not just like any covers I’ve made but it effectively blocks any RFID readers from reading any card hidden inside the cover.

I will be making these new covers using soft suede fabrics in shades of cream, purple and chocolate brown and other beautiful printed fabrics for men, women and children!

Unfortunately due to the scarcity and price of the material, a simple cover will start from 12.75£ while our new design which will be launched soon will start from 25£. This new design will come with additional pockets for a couple of cards. Coming up soon are Passport pouches with flaps for complete cover, this will probably be for January next year.

Both products will also be waterproof and protects the passport from rain and splash of liquid but it will not protect your passport if you drop it in the water or the ocean!

Please note that these two products will be dispatched at least 21 days from receipt of payment. Fabric is tested only to available cards with RFID chips and readers. Providing they are all using the same frequency up to 1Ghz! This will also block nearly all ELF and VLF electric fields.
