assuming you mean that we need to line our wallets against theft, here's another one for you. Was at Fred Meyer getting a cash gift card. When you turn them over you will see that majority of numbers are covered. The one I took up was not. Backing was torn off. Clerk had me get a different one. Said that one was already compromised. Scammers peel off protective cover, scan the number. Then when you activate it the thieves already have access to the funds you applied. We have to be aware of everything we do now a days!

I have a little wallet that only holds credit cards that has protections and I got DH some little envelops that hold the credit cards (our cruise advisor told us to for our last cruise) - and I am glad we did. Had a friend who went on a trip by plane and went to use her credit card at her destination and she could not charge anything. Someone had stolen her number when she went through the airport and took out her wallet to pay cash for something - she had about 10k of new charges on her card from all around the world. Really sad. Fortunately she only took one credit card and not her debit card.
I was looking at the fabric -- I would probably make a pouch that fits inside the purse for added protection.

I have the little foil sleeves, but like this idea and will look in the Nancy's Notion catalog when it comes. a lady at church uses a metal business card holder for this purpose and her DH is with Homeland Security and says that it works too.
