Secure RFID Badge Holder for 1 Card - Heavy Duty Hard Plastic ID Badge Holder - FIPS 201 Approved RFID Blocking Security - Purple

ID Stronghold is known as the pioneer when it comes to RFID Badgeholders. Over a decade ago, the company built the first FIPS 201 approved badge holder, a patented design that has withstood the test of time. The Classic holder, a favorite for 14 years, has undergone improvements to enhance its shielding ability and reduce its size and weight. The US Patent Office even recognized it as a "Stronghold of ingenuity" in a recent publication.

The Classic's top-load design has been popular due to its ease of use. As smart chipped ID cards have become more prevalent, the need to remove the card to place it in a computer for access has increased. With the Classic, removing and replacing the card in the holder is effortless – simply slide up and out to remove, then slide in down until you feel the click to relock it in place.

When it comes to using the card for contactless entry, the Classic shines. There's no need to remove the card from the holder or remove your gloves. Simply pinch the top, and the card moves away from the protective shielding, allowing it to be read by the door scanner. Then, just let go, and the spring clip design automatically places the card back in the shielded position, preventing thieves from scanning the card.

This holder is FIPS 201 approved and designed to protect cards operating at 13.56Mhz and above, including US federal employee ID cards, CAC cards, credit and debit cards, most hotel room keys, and transit cards. For 125kHz prox cards, the BloxProx version can provide protection.

Durability and shielding have been the focus of the design improvements over the years. The polycarbonate formulation used for the plastic parts is highly durable, and the stainless steel spring clips won't rust like the nickel-plated steel found in lesser-quality products. The parts are molded and assembled in the USA, ensuring precision tolerance.

The open-face design of the Classic Secure BadgeHolder allows for a choice of colors, a feature not found in most other holders.

The company's over a decade of real-world experience has provided valuable lessons, such as the redesign of the spring clip retention to prevent it from becoming a "spring clip launcher," an incident that embarrassed the company in the early years but ultimately led to a safer and more reliable design.

The Classic Secure BadgeHolder has even made appearances in blockbuster movies, showcasing its cool factor and versatility as a movie prop. From Godzilla: King of the Monsters to The Day The Earth Stood Still, the ID Stronghold Classic has become a familiar sight on the silver screen.

In summary, the ID Stronghold Classic Secure BadgeHolder is a feature-rich, durable, and reliable RFID protection solution that has been trusted by government agencies, businesses, and even Hollywood for over a decade.
