Dielectric smart card protector sleeve

Abstract

A smart card holder or passport holder has two sides sealed together at three edges to leave an interior space dimensioned and configured to hold a smart card or passport. The sides have multiple layers: a first layer of dielectric material which substantially covers entirety of both sides, a second layer of structural material to add strength, and a third layer of soft material which protects any magnetic stripe on a card or the like from the dielectric material. The sides may be sealed by means of RF welding in order to minimize gaps between the sides. In use, the device prevents unauthorized RF remote access to the smart card chip or passport chip.
