Using paywave as often as I do, and having a phone case with a 'helpful' RFID blocking cover so I have to remove my CC to use paywave, I wondered if there was a way to get a smaller chip/aerial package that I could have on my keyring instead?

 

Googling brings up hits from the mid 2000's until about 2014, but apparently nothing after that.

 

 

Anyone got any ideas that don't involve an existing card, a glass dish, acetone and remelting the remaining parts into a small blob?

 

Cheers - N

Drill a small hole in the case where the nfc chip is?
Get a different case
Anything else you'd be at risk of not having the almost certain fraud covered.

A different case would seem the easiest solution TBH.

 

And yep - Looks like the FOB/Tag was a big thing in 2007 - but I guess phones mostly do that job now - so they have vanished.

Have you thought about a smart watch?




My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

I don’t quite understand you want the rfid blocking to protect the card. But you want a second ‘card’ that’s not ‘protected’ by rfid shield.

Why not get rid of the rfid blocking case?

The case is nice... I didn't buy it for it's blocking characteristics and didn't realise that until after purchase. I appreciate the alternative suggestions but the only useful info really is that I am not missing something obvious dammit and they all went away :-(
