Trayvax – The Tank Wallet

Trayvax makes metal card wallets in the United States. Some models add an RFID-blocking layer so a casual scanner does not read the chip in a contactless card. The frame holds a few cards and a bill. Warranties are part of the pitch. The steel is stiff until it loosens.

RFID blocking is not a Faraday bag and it is not a privacy identity. It does not stop cameras, magnetic-stripe skimmers on a reader you insert into, or a waiter who walks off with the card. Buy the model that actually claims blocking if that is why you are here. A metal wallet without the liner is just a metal wallet.

Use it as a small everyday wallet, not as operational security. trayvax.com

Trayvax’s RFID models block a casual wireless read of a contactless card in a pocket. Test with your own phone’s NFC reader if you want to see the difference between the lined model and a metal shell that is just metal. The wallet will not stop a charge you already authorized, a photo of the card, or a skimmer on a real terminal. Carry fewer cards so the one that matters is not always in the cafe. The warranty is about the frame, not about fraud.
