Transaction cards having one or more folds therein for compact and easily stored fobs are provided. Moreover, foldable fobs are provided having one or more holes or apertures therein for holding key chains, or other devices for attaching the fobs to other items, such as sets of keys, wallets, or other items. Other embodiments include spring-loaded clips on the foldable fobs and protective sleeves, housings or cases for full-sized and smaller-sized cards. Still further, fob systems are provided comprising a case or housing for holding and/or storing foldable fobs therein, such as foldable fobs having a dimension, such as a length dimension or a width dimension, that is smaller than traditional-sized fobs.
What is claimed is: 1. An RFID fob system comprising: a foldable RFID fob having a folded state and an unfolded state wherein said foldable RFID fob comprises a first section and a second section; a hinge disposed between the first and the second section; said foldable RFID fob having at least one
What is claimed is: 1. An RFID fob system comprising: a foldable RFID fob having a folded state and an unfolded state wherein said foldable RFID fob comprises a first section and a second section; a hinge disposed between the first and the second section; said foldable RFID fob having at least one dimension smaller than a corresponding dimension of a traditionally-sized fob when said foldable RFID fob is in the unfolded state, and a holder for holding the fob wherein said holder is a housing that surrounds the fob when the fob is in the folded state, wherein the housing comprises a first section and a second section, wherein a hinge is disposed between the first and second sections of the housing, and wherein folding said holder causes the fob to folded. 2. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the fob is removably attached to said holder. 3. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein at least the first section of the fob is attached to the holder. 4. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the first section of the fob is attached to the first section of the housing. 5. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the holder comprises an attaching means and the fob is attached to the holder via the attaching means. 6. The RFID fob system of claim 5, wherein the attaching means comprises a track, wherein the fob is disposed within the track. 7. The RFID fob system of claim 6, wherein the first section of the fob is removably disposed within the track. 8. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the holder comprises a releasing means for releasing the fob from the holder. 9. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises an opening means for opening the housing and accessing the foldable fob contained therein wherein the opening comprises an actuator whereby actuating the actuator allows the housing to open. 10. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the hinge of the housing is spring-loaded. 11. The RFID fob system of claim 10, wherein the spring-loaded hinge of the housing allows the housing to spring open when opened. 12. The RFID fob system of claim 1, further comprising a releasing means for releasing the second section of the fob from the holder to allow the fob to unfold. 13. The RFID fob system of claim 1, further comprising a magnetic stripe, wherein the magnetic stripe is readable by a magnetic stripe reader. 14. The RFID fob system of claim 13, wherein the magnetic stripe is positioned parallel to an edge of the fob. 15. The RFID fob system of claim 13, wherein the magnetic stripe is positioned perpendicular to a largest dimension of the fob. 16. The RFID fob system of claim 13, wherein the magnetic stripe comprises at least two tracks for storing the encoded data. 17. The RFID fob system of claim 16, wherein the encoded data on a first of the two tracks is encoded at a density of greater than about 210 bits per inch. 18. The RFID fob system of claim 17, wherein the encoded data on the first of the two tracks is encoded at a density of about 260 bits per inch. 19. The RFID fob system of claim 16, wherein the encoded data on a second of the two tracks is encoded at a density of greater than about 75 bits per inch. 20. The RFID fob system of claim 19, wherein the encoded data on the second of the two tracks is encoded at a density of about 100 bits per inch. 21. The RFID fob system of claim 16, wherein the encoded data is encoded using two frequency encoding. 22. The RFID fob system of claim 1, further comprising a magnetic stripe; wherein the magnetic stripe is readable by a magnetic stripe reader without removing the fob from the holder. 23. The RFID fob system of claim 1, further comprising a magnetic stripe; wherein the magnetic stripe is readable by a magnetic stripe reader after the fob is removed from the holder. 24. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the hinge between the first and second sections of the fob comprises a fold line in said fob. 25. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the hinge comprises a strip of material interconnected to both the first and second sections. 26. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the dimensions of the fob are in the range of about 1 inch by about 1 inch to about 1⅞ inches by about 3 inches, and the length of the magnetic stripe is in the range of about 1 inch to about 3 inches. 27. The RFID fob system of claim 1, further comprising a core comprising polyester. 28. The RFID fob system of claim 1, wherein the dimensions of the fob are about 1 9/16 inches by about 2 9/16 inches. 29.
