    Abstract: A portable enclosure has a hinged or slide opening capable of containing several RFID tags embedded in other devices. The present invention provides two layer portable enclosures. The inner layer is a protective layer that keeps signals from hitting the RFID tags. The outer layer is a physical barrier against the elements and serves a decorative function. The inner layer metal is preferably, but not limited to, copper, silver, aluminum, tin or any other metal capable of attenuating completely the wavelength necessary to reach and activate the embedded RFID tag. The metal may be in a weave, solid or any other structure capable of the necessary shielding. The outer layer is made of materials capable of withstanding use, weather, and the surrounding environment. The inner layer may be embedded within the outer layer. A wallet is made of shielding material with flaps surrounding the devices with embedded RFID.
