(MoneyNewsWire.Net, October 14, 2015 ) Kirkland, WA -- It's been 3 months since Elk and Bear Handpicked released their VAULT credit card protector sleeves in the US. The sleeves are sleek, well designed and effective, and the market has received them well. There is one thing that customers have been asking for though – and Elk and Bear, a company that prides itself on building authentic customer relationships, has responded quickly.
In September 2015, Elk and Bear: Handpicked launched a new version of its credit card protector sleeves in jewel tones suitable for both genders.
VAULT sleeves have always been amazingly cool looking. VAULT and Elk & Bear have cooperated to create a minimalist graphic of Bear Rampant on the front, they feel good in one's hand, and they fit perfectly in any wallet without making it into a bulky mess – and now in response to customer request, they're also color coded for ease of use.
As the mid-October deadline for the US banking industry's introduction of contactless debit and credit cards nears, experts predict a huge spike of digital pickpocketing.
Once an accessory of the ‘pocket protector set' and chronic ‘de-magnetizers', credit card sleeves are suddenly selling like hotcakes , the trouble is, many of them don't work, and nearly all of them are unattractive.
When credit card sleeves first appeared, they were made of tyvek, paper or plastic, and were designed to protect cards from de-magnetizing. These older sleeves do nothing to protect new RFID chip technology, and well, they were ugly.
New sleeves are appearing on the market, but most protect against only fraction of the range of electromagnetic frequencies used to skim data from RFID enhanced credit cards. Some, however, work very well. One such card is made by RFID security specialist VAULT, and distributed in North America by Elk & Bear: Handpicked.
VAULT cards combine copper and aluminum foil bonded to a thin yet tough sleeve of insulated paper with conductive polyester shielding layers. Copper and aluminum together effectively shield RFID technology in E passports, Smart Cards, Enhanced Drivers' licenses, debit and credit cards from Electro Magnetic Interference and unauthorized reading or "data skimming". VAULT sleeves are tear proof, puncture proof and water resistant.
VAULT by Elk and Bear has distinguished itself as an effective and stylish offering in their category – now they're doing it in full color too.
According to VAULT CEO Leo Hamel "We're always looking for ways to take our products to the next level, and Elk and Bear is always listening to what their customers want – it's a perfect partnership, and these sleeves are the coolest offering out there. We're thrilled to bring them to market."
Vault Credit Card and Passport sleeves (set of 8 credit card sleeves in four colors) are available exclusively at Amazon.com, and are currently on introductory special at 75% off MSRP for $9.95 with code VAULT 777 at checkout.
