Kena Kai DataSafe Wallets

Date Published: 9/21/07

A product that combines style with practicality and security rates high on our list, and the new line of DataSafe Wallets by Kena Kai is a winning example. These high-tech wallets for men and women protect you against the next generation of pickpockets specializing in wireless identity theft. Contactless credit cards are becoming more common, with an estimated 20 million already in circulation. These new cards contain radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchips that transmit financial and personal data. Instead of swiping your card, you simply pass it over a reader and you're good to go. The convenience factor is high, of course, but your data is accessible by anyone packing a portable reader.

To block any attempts to steal your personal and financial information from your credit cards, IDs and other items containing RFIDs, DataSafe wallets are designed with multiple layers of radio-frequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EM) shielding material. Kena Kai's patent-pending shielding material is similar to that used in the U.S. State Department's new ePassports. In fact, DataSafe wallets are the only wallets currently U.S. Government-certified to meet the strict new security guidelines.

Each DataSafe wallet pocket has its own layer of shielding material for the highest possible level of security and protection. The security factor alone should convince you of this product's value, but you'll also be impressed by the functionality and stylish good looks. Fashioned from full-grain Italian leather, DataSafe wallets include bi-fold wallets, women's wallets, credit-card wallets, and passport and travel wallets in brown, black, an elegant green and a beautiful shade of blueberry blue. Women's models have plenty of slots for credit cards and other essentials, as well as zippered coin pockets and full-length cash pockets. The passport wallet is perfect for carrying travel and credit cards and cash, as well as your passport and boarding pass.

The DataSafe wallets have a distinctive combination of style and innovation. They start at a suggested retail price of $40, and they run up to a maximum of $199. For excellent security and a great look, check out Kena Kai's DataSafe wallets.


Pros: Patent-pending RF and EM shielding material to protect personal information, U.S. Government certified, full-grain Italian leather
Cons: Credit card slots are deeper than you usually find in wallets
