| Specification | Travelambo RFID Front Pocket Genuine Leather Wallet | Travelambo RFID Blocking Genuine Leather Travel Wallet |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹1,299 | ₹1,499 |
| Capacity | 8 card slots plus a note compartment | Passport, boarding pass, up to 4 cards, SIM card slot, pen loop |
| Leather | Genuine cowhide, which patinas | Genuine cowhide |
| RFID blocking | A metallic layer that blocks 13.56 MHz contactless reads | Relevant here in a way it is not for cards -- biometric e-passports carry a readable chip, and unlike EMV cards they do not use a per-transaction cryptogram |
| Weight | 60 g | 140 g |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| E-passport chips | not published | Protected by Basic Access Control, which requires data from the printed page, so remote reading is difficult but not equivalent to a card's cryptogram |
| Front pocket design | Slim enough for a front pocket, which is a genuine pickpocketing countermeasure and arguably more useful than the RFID layer | not published |
| Honest assessment | Contactless card fraud by skimming is rare. Modern EMV contactless cards use a one-time cryptogram per transaction, so a captured read cannot be replayed. Documented real-world losses from skimming are very low compared with card-not-present fraud | not published |
| Size | not published | Fits standard passports including the Indian one |
| Where it does matter | Some access-control and hotel key cards, and older unprotected card types | not published |
| Why a travel wallet | not published | Keeping passport and boarding pass together is the practical value; the RFID layer is secondary |
