If this hadn't happened to me, I would never believe this story. Last 
week, I proceeded to pay for a car repair with a visa (specifically 
choosing the visa because visa charges less processing fees), placed it 
into the router/processor on the counter and received from the guy 
behind the desk the receipt. I checked the amount (which was accurate) 
and continued out. Fifteen minutes later, I had cause to inspect the 
repair receipt and discovered that my Amex (which never exited my 
wallet) had been charged. Upon calling and then later speaking with the 
staff behind the desk for another visit, I was told that they see this 
phenomenom a lot...with a lot of cards. and they gave me a list. So the 
question becomes: What type of sleeve can be bought, what's it called 
and where can I get it, to prevent a card reader from grabbing my Amex 
from inside my wallet?

This is such aggravation.
