The card protector is encapsuled within a plastic protective case to ensure your card cover never scratches or dents. These are great protection for your coin when its in your pocket with your keys and other coins unless you are a pro and only carry notes:)

Card Guards are great items for any poker player.  They work great as a gift for the poker player that already has all the typical poker gear. 
 
When you play at a table with a card guard, it works as a functional device in that it signals the dealer that your hand is still live and protects the cards from being accidentally mucked.  It also serves as a great conversational piece. 
Recently, Card Guards have taken on a collectible nature.  Many poker players like to buy them. You dont necessary have to use these coins to protect your cards. You can also use them as a token to reserve a seat at a table or as a good luck charm which can sit nicely with or on top of your chip stack. Some real life photos have been added when i have used them in the past.
