A money clip is disclosed with RF shielding characteristics to prevent skimming of stored magnetic and/or digital data in credit cards, quick pay devices, and other items that include magnetically stored personal data. The clip is formed of multiple layers of carbon cloth arranged to prevent transmission of radio frequencies in the range used to acquire the data. The layers are formed using a resin to bind the layers and the formation process resists the introduction of air into the device. The clip is strong enough to resiliently hold money, credit cards, and the like without losing its shape, and the shielding properties protect the contents for unauthorized data acquisition.
