Does this come with an aluminum hat and metal lined windows?

I always thought the idea of these things was great, and $13 is significantly less then the $80 asked at thinkgeek, so in for 1.

Here's hoping that it's of at least decent quality, I'll put up my thoughts whenever it comes in (between the 7th & 21st [yay economy shipping])

such a huge scam... really does anyone believe a credit card company would make cards that need a metal wallet to keep them secure??? news flash credit card fraud costs the bank way more than yourself... the RFID cards you have to be with in MILOMETERS of the card to read it... who ever made this metal wallet should be ashamed they are the thieves here taking full advantage of uneducated people... sad really...

@cwazy: There is some literature on the matter. For example, take a look at [1]. For around $100 you can read a card at a distance of about 1/4 meter. This is easily done by bumping into someone. With some software, and a merchant account, you can charge their card. Many people do not go through their credit card statement with a fine tooth comb, and a small charge of around $5-10 will likely go unnoticed. This is not to say no one reads through their statement, but the attack vector is significantly more feasible than you make it out to be.

I got one when I was on yugster and I love it. Sure, you may not need a stainless steel wallet to block out RFID stuff, but this beautifully soft, woven stainless steel is incredibly durable. Craftsmanship isn't amazing ( the stitching is a little off), but for $13 you can have a wallet that lasts.

And you can even decorate it with magnets :)

So, it came in the mail Thursday, and I've been using it ever since. It's a bit big for a standard billfold, but not outlandishly large. The metal is quite smooth, but marks/creases will show up. The card holders seem a bit tight, but I was able to fit the cards I need in, so no worries there (plus it forces me to keep my wallet free of clutter) All in all, a rather good buy for $13.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
