MY REVIEW:

Ever since I've learned about RFID blocking sleeves, I made sure that me and hubby has one for each of our cards. Why? Because I like that it gives me security over those who steal identity through skimming. When I received the RFID Blocking Sleeves from Blockit RFID Products, I was excited to try it because these have a designer pattern.

I received the pink zebra striped pattern and as soon as I saw it, I liked it. The material is similar to a cardboard and the inside is lined with a silver-colored material. The opening of these sleeves are on top and for me, it's more convenient to slide my card in and out of the sleeve.

I like the thicker material of the RFID blocking sleeves because it's much less prone to folds. I also like that I am ensured and at peace that my information and cards are safe from those who skim cards. Even though it's a bit thick, I don't have a hard time putting it in and out of my wallet.

This works as it should and I like that they come in different patterns.

TSA Approved Luggage Combination Lock From Alaska Bear Review


ALaska_Bear_TSA_Approved_Luggage_Combination_Lock.jpg
When traveling, I make sure to keep our luggage safe and secured. I make sure to use a sturdy and durable lock to make me more at ease. For me, it makes me more at ease when I use a lock for our checked-in luggage.

When I received the TSA luggage combination lock from Alaska Bear, I looked forward to seeing its features.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

1. No need to keep an extra key.
2. Set your own personalized combination convenience.

3. Steel shackle for strong cut resistance.

4. A unique pole on top of the lock will let you know if a TSA inspector opens the lock.

5. The TSA inspectors never leave your bags unlocked after Inspections because they cannot remove their key without relocking It. So you can keep belongings safe from being stolen.

The TSA Approved Luggage Combination Lock arrived in a simple, sealed, plastic packaging. It measures 5 x 3.2 x 0.7 inches and weighs approximately 2.4 ounces.

The combination lock is pre-set to 0-0-0 but can easily be set by following the simple directions on the packaging.

There is a red TSA logo which is nice because TSA officers can examine and inspect your luggage without having to destroy the lock if you're not present.

There is a red indicator on the top of the luggage combination lock which pops out when TSA officers opened the lock (haven't tried this before but it's indicated on the packaging), and can only be reset or pushed back if I opened the lock using my correct combination code. I like this feature since I would know if a TSA officer opened the lock without me being present.

The TSA approved luggage combination lock from Alaska Bear looks durable and has a sturdy look and feel to it. I like how easy it is to use and that I am more at ease that the content inside my luggage is more safe from theft.

Identity Stronghold RFID Blocking Credit Card Sleeves And Passport Holders Review


Identity_Stronghold_RFID_Blocking_Credit_Card_Sleeves.jpg
Have you heard about anti-theft RFID blocking sleeves? These are sleeves which protect credit cards cards from getting stolen because it creates a shield to block the ability to communicate with the RFID chip, which stores the information in cards and passports. So, I take extra measures because even though I haven't had my identity stolen, I am extremely careful because reading and hearing stories from other people is scary enough for me.

When I received the Identity Stronghold's RFID blocking credit card sleeves and passport holders, the first thing that I thought was their simplicity. Here is a quick product description from the company:
What card types will Number 1 in Service products shield and protect against EP?
The patented Secure Sleeves are designed to shield from electronic pickpocketing (EP) all 13.56Mhz contactless credit cards, passports, drivers licenses, ISO 14443A/B and EPC Gen1/Gen2 contactless smart cards; any contactless card that operates at 13.56 Mhz and above.
Our Sleeves Shield These Types of Cards:
• All new contactless credit cards and debit cards
• US Passport Cards
• Enhanced Driver's Licenses such as Washington, Michigan, New York, Vermont, and Canadian provinces.
• Many transit cards such as the DC Metro and Boston CharlieTM card
• TWICTM (Transportation Worker Identification Credential)
• HID iClass, HID MIFARE®, HID FlexSmart, DESFire
• Indala FlexSmart
• Any card ISO 14443A/B or ISO 15693 compatible
• All MIFARE® and DESFire compatible cards
• sQuid cards used in Europe
• Military CAC (Common Acess Cards)
• New Government PIV (Personal Identity Verification) cards such as the Linc-Pass
• New long range RFID EPC Gen1/Gen2 cards
How RFID Blocking Works
By creating a shield that blocks the ability to power and communicate with the RFID chip, our products protect personal information stored on these items. Unfortunately, industry-standard security measures implemented for user protection are easily by-passed with modification, so complete protection requires additional security.

Identity_Stronghold_RFID_Blocking_Credit_Card_Sleeves.jpg
When I was given the chance to try the Identity Stronghold's Credit Card Sleeves and Passport Holder, I looked forward to trying it. The set includes 2 RFID blocking passport holders and 10 RFID blocking credit card sleeves.

The sleeves and the passport holder have a deep blue color and each of them have a blank white space so that I can label what card/passport is inside. This makes it much more convenient because I don't have to check each sleeves or passport holder to see which card is which.

I also like that this came in a set of 10 credit card sleeves which is more than enough for me and hubby's cards. I never had an RFID blocking passport holder before, and never really thought about it before, but I'm glad that our passports are protected as well.
Identity_Stronghold_RFID_Blocking_Credit_Card_Sleeves.jpg
The card sleeves are thin and lightweight so I can easily put them in the pockets of my wallet.
Identity_Stronghold_RFID_Blocking_Credit_Card_Sleeves.jpg
They are a bit snug with the credit card sleeves but still, they fit.

Some parts of the edge of the sleeves have lost the deep blue color, maybe from pulling it out of my wallet and putting it back in, but it didn't really affect the purpose of the sleeves. They work as they should and I love how I can be assured that our cards and identities are safe.

SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight Review + #Giveaway 7/20 US

SecurityIng_4200_Lumens_WAterproof_LED_Flashlight.jpg
I always have a flashlight in our home and in our car for emergency purposes. A bright flashlight is very helpful specially when there is a power outage or as I've said, if there is an emergency (*crossing my fingers that this wouldn't happen). I was given the chance to try the SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight and I was super excited to try it. Stay tuned below for a giveaway as well! :)
SecurityIng_4200_Lumens_WAterproof_LED_Flashlight.jpg
The SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight arrived in a box. This is available in 2 colors and I chose the gold one.
SecurityIng_4200_Lumens_WAterproof_LED_Flashlight.jpg
The SecurityIng 4200 Lumens LED Flashlight arrived exactly like this. It has the flashlight inside and a brown string which can be used as a wrist strap. It didn't come with any instructions or safety instruction manual but I figured out how to install the batteries since we have several flashlights at home already.
SecurityIng_4200_Lumens_WAterproof_LED_Flashlight.jpg
The SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight works on 4 x 18650 3.7V rechargeable batteries which is not included in the box. I had to buy this separately before I got to try the SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Flashlight. The batteries can be installed by twisting the cover (part where the bulbs are).
SecurityIng_4200_Lumens_WAterproof_LED_Flashlight.jpg
The SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight has a single button which is used to turn the flashlight on as well change through the light modes. There are 3 modes: high, low and strobe. To change through the light modes, I have to press the button for about 3 seconds.
SecurityIng_4200_Lumens_WAterproof_LED_Flashlight.jpg
The SecurityIng 4200 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight has 7 Cree XM-L T6LED lights. I love how bright this flashlight can be and can illuminate a room with the high setting. Of course it's not as bright as a light bulb but with this, even with no other lights on, I can see throughout the room with no problems.

I like how durable this flashlight looks because of the aluminum alloy case. The glass lens on the flashlight head is super clear so there are no interference with the brightness of the LED lights. The body of this flashlight is a bit thicker but I can still hold it in my hand with no problems. It is also a bit heavier, specially with the batteries in, but I'd prefer this because it's super bright.

With prolonged use, the flashlight gets a bit hot with the high setting maybe because the flashlight's entire exterior is made out of metal. Other than that, this is a very nice, useful and bright flashlight which I would recommend to others. This is also perfect to use for outdoor activities like camping and hiking because it's super bright.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT: (from the company)

Genuine BLOCKIT Anti-Theft RFID Signal Blocking Protection Sleeves

MY REVIEW:

Identity and Credit Card theft is so common these days that I make sure that I have proper security measures when I purchase online or when I go out. I was happy when I received the BLOCKIT Credit Card RFID Blocking Sleeves because I can feel more secured about my credit card in my bag/wallet.

I received the purple BLOCKIT with a checkered pattern. It has a smooth, glossy outside finish and the inside of the sleeves has a silver color. It is similar to a cardboard and I can easily slide my card in and out of the sleeves. The opening is on the top and this sleeves fit the pocket of my wallet so I have no problems with removing the sleeves (with my card inside) in and out of the pocket of my wallet.
