Identity Stronghold's Leather Wallets Offer Consumers Protection and Style this Holiday Season

"We received countless requests to design and offer ladies' leather wallets from our female customers buying Secure Sleeves for their husbands and college-age children," said Walt Augustinowicz. "Our customers gave us the direction we needed to go, and the response on the leather goods line has exceeded our expectations."

Men's wallets have been available since the 2009 holiday season, and 2011 holiday shoppers have already begun purchasing from the line of protected leather products for ladies.

According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) consumers should "consider using an RFID sleeve-Many credit/debit cards and driver's licenses contain RFID chips with personal data. By using this sleeve, you can keep your personal data secure by preventing unauthorized access."

"Identity Stronghold leather wallets are designed to protect each and every credit card, even when the cardholder has the wallet open. Competing products function only as a 'clam shell,' and when the wallet is opened, credit cards are exposed and prone to electronic pickpocketing," said Augustinowicz.

Identity Stronghold specializes in making radio frequency identification shielding products for credit cards and passports to protect personal and financial information from the growing nationwide threat of electronic pickpocketing. It was listed as one of the fastest growing of the 500 largest companies from Tampa to Naples, Fla., according to Gulf Coast Business Review.
