I don't as a rule put things in back pockets because pickpockets
might be tempted. But in any case a thin season ticket wallet is so
obviously different from a thicker money wallet that I can't see such
confusion really occurring.

My experience (several times) is that got card clashes quite often:
unfortunately sometimes I got through the entry gate by following
someone just ahead, and then found an unresolved journey at the exit
gate (which then took me at least 30 mins on the phone to resolve).

I have learned from this to keep my Oyster card in a separate card
folder to all others, which is a real nuisance. But it seems the only
way.

As we accumulate more an more RFID cards (my credit card supplier has
refused to provide me with a non-RFID version) we will simply have to
keep a separate card holder for each and every card. Welcome to the
inconvenience of the pay-wave future.

That's a completely different issue. If you wait for the yellow light
before touching in, you'll avoid that scenario.

Do a Google image search for "trifold wallet". You can keep two RFID
cards in the outer flaps and all the other cards in the centre. When
touching in, you just fold out the flap with the Oyster in it. Simple.

Or just take out the desired card. When standing at a checkout this
is hardly inconvenient.

You aren't at a checkout you are in the middle of maybe 20 people all pushing top get on the bus or at a barrier gate in the middle of the rush hour. The last thing you want is to hold up a wallet full of credit and debit cards where it can be grabbed let alone the fact that you will be getting jostled by a lot of impatient people.

For security and speed keep the Oyster card separate in the dedicated wallet provided.

I just keep it in a pocket and get it out with its wallet when using it.
Simple.

I put my passport / boarding pass somewhere 'clever', then have a mild
panic when I can't instantly find it!

But I *already* have 3 RFID cards that I need to use frequently
(Oyseter, Credit Card, Bus Pass) and I've not doubt more will follow
when all the banks and credit card companies feel the need to push them
at us. A tri-fold wallet won't be enough.

I was going to try keeping one of them in an anti static bag, will it work?
