"Modern day pickpockets don't need to touch you to steal your money", warns ThinkGeek on the emergence of RFID-enabled credit and debit cards.

Although such thieves would have to be high tech wizards complete with the necessary kit, if you want to be belt and braces secure then the Flipside wallet is for you.

The card side of the wallet holds up to six cards and is "fully RFID shielded, keeping your info locked up and secure" and protected from sneaky scanning scumbags.

The cash side of things has space for notes, receipts, tickets, photos and the like and the whole shebang closes - no doubt with a satisfying click - with a secure locking mechanism.

The Flipside wallet is on sale now from ThinkGeek for $39.99.
