Travel Safely and in Style with the eyePockit!
by Alison Blackman
You rarely see world travelers carrying huge designer handbags.
I’m sure that it’s not just that they don’t love a big, beautiful, purse, but when you are traveling, especially in a foreign country, you don’t want to call attention to yourself.
And, of course, lugging around a big, heavy handbag can wear you out!
An eyePockit for Travel
Even if you never travel, there are times when a small bag is a must-have (e.g. at a club, when you’re “power shopping” all day).
Obviously, there are plenty of cross body bags around, and tiny evening bags you can buy.
But the eyePockit from Just Solutions Products is the perfect size for evening or a small jaunt around town.
It also has something you might not even think you need, but it’s great for when you travel — RFID blocking technology.
Is RFID Blocking Technology * Why Do You Want It?
To get the “technical” out of the way first: radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology using radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag (the chip embedded into credit cards and other things) for the purpose of identifying and tracking.
Years ago advicesisters.com reviewed the Aluma Wallet, one of the first of the “as seen on TV” products to protect your credit cards from identity theft.
At that time, “chip” credit cards were just getting popular. Now, every credit card has them.
However, with a simple skimmer device, a thief can supposedly read information off some RFID tags even if they aren’t close to your wallet.
This kind of theft is still a “thing” in other parts of the world. But if If you have an eyePockit with blocking technology in the wallet section, thieves can’t get the information off your cards.
Before you worry too much, keep in mind that skimmers can’t read the numerical security codes on the back of your card so even if they scan the front, you’re partially safe. The RFID protection is just an extra layer.
The RFID protection is just an extra layer.
This Bag Holds a Lot of “Stuff!”
Even if you don’t carry credit cards, the eyePockit holds more things than you might expect a small bag to carry: keys & coins, lipstick, ID, pen, cards money, and more.
Inside in the top flap, you’ll find an elastic for a pen, a small square mirror (the image was distorted, but serviceable for touch-ups), and a square ID pocket (we used ours for a business card).
The main compartment has a slim zippered area for your bills, slots for a few credit cards, and a spacious compartment for keys, lipstick, comb, and the other must have essentials.
In the photos you will see glasses, but it really didn’t’ work in my test.
The only way you can really carry any size glasses in this bag is without a case, and then you could potentially scratch the lenses with all the other things in the bag.
It’s still a petite purse about half the size of a loaf or bread and a lot slimmer. It holds a huge amount…but there is a limit!
It’s small enough to use an organizer in your larger handbag, and use it alone when you want to.
Safety with a Chain and Style!
The chic chain on the eyePockit is long enough to wear cross body, and there’s also a small wrist strap. Both are remove-able so you can personalize when you want to.
Another thing thieves like to do is carry a knife and slice leather and fabric straps right off your shoulder…a chain is much harder to cut (so extra safety for your stuff).
The front of the bag is smooth (no one can snag the catch) and the back has a long pocket for even a large phone that has a tab that snaps over the compartment to keep the phone secure.
The eyePockit is currently available in solid (saffiano texture–cross-hatched pattern machine stamped): black, camel, and cheetah, as well as in crocodile print featuring: black, red, camel, and teal designs. Ours in the photo above in black “crocodile” didn’t look convincingly authentic, but the shiny black pleather looks perfectly acceptable for your evening occasions, or to place into another larger bag or tote.
