How does RFID skimming actually work?
RFID skimming happens when someone wirelessly scans your contactless card using a scanner — without touching you or your wallet. It’s a real threat in busy locations like train stations, airports, or shopping malls. Valenta’s RFID-blocking materials act as a protective shield, guarding your cards from this invisible form of digital theft.
Is it safe to travel with just cards and a phone?
In many countries — especially in Northern and Western Europe — yes. Still, it’s smart to carry a backup. Valenta’s Mix & MagSafe concept keeps your cards and power bank together in one compact, secure setup, offering peace of mind wherever you go.
Why is aluminium a smart choice for rainy weather like in the Netherlands?
Aluminium doesn’t rust, doesn’t absorb moisture, and can handle rainy conditions effortlessly. Ideal for cycling to work, walking through town, or getting caught in a downpour. Your cards stay dry and safe.
How do I maintain or clean my cardholder?
A soft cloth is all you need. Aluminium doesn’t rust and repels moisture, so it stays clean and sharp-looking with minimal care.
Is the leather wallet meant to be a standalone wallet?
No — it’s a modular add-on. While it can hold extra cards or cash, it’s not a full-size wallet. It’s designed to complement the Valenta MagSafe cardholder or MagSafe power bank as part of our innovative Mix & MagSafe system.
Are there designs that match a streetwear or casual style?
Absolutely. Black, grey, silver, or gold pair perfectly with sneakers, hoodies, and crossbody bags. A Valenta cardholder adds a subtle flair to your modern, laid-back look.
What’s the difference between a cardholder and a wallet?
A cardholder is designed for slim, efficient storage. A wallet typically carries more, including cash or receipts. With Valenta’s Mix & MagSafe concept, you can build your perfect combo setup — minimal or modular.
