How many people have started utilising this tech in your phones or credit/debit cards?
I have a friend who has developed a case for NFC equipped phone that can distort the signal unless its being actively used by the user.
He also has developed a credit card sized deflecter for use in wallet applications (saves buying a new wallet/you can keep the wallet/purse of your choice)
I'm just trying to gather info into the useage of the tech before I drop some money into his designs to further the concepts:)
Look forward to your replies:)
EDIT:I think I've posted in the wrong section and it won't let me delete:( rather than spam if a mod could move it:)

Agreed NFC skimming is all to cheap and easy to do at the moment hence the interest in my friends designs:)
He's managed to block 9/11 different skimmers he's acquired. Appears to have a 83% success rate at blocking attacks from all distances. The last two he's still working on account for the last 17%
if we could push the concept to block 99% of attacks minimum would you considered using NFC more?

Skimmers fortunately are limited by the laws of physics:) if my friend can push the tech to the extent of 99%(I won't say 100% because there's always of the off chance nothing's perfect)
I don't believe tech would be able to overcome the problem he plans to introduce. Annoyingly it's still in the process of a patent application so I can't discuss specifics:(

I can't imagine the wallet version costing much more than £3-5
The phone one is a bit more complex and it does annoyingly drop the signal a fraction:( we're only talking 3db though.
