NFC ring
So my wedding ring, NFC ring, is on its death bed right now. The coating that protects and makes it smooth is chipped and cracked. I'm going to be either getting the payment ring as a replacement or a more traditional ring. The selling point for me is the UKi and the price tag involved with it/ it's implant size and also what banks accept it.
If I do opt for the uki I don't need the new payment ring which means I no longer need any NFC ring and have 2 tags sitting in some resin around titanium. I was toying with the idea of trying to turn one of the NFC tags into a flex tag and implanting it. My only questions I really have are is there a way to make the tags read distance a little better before hand (I.e through my phone case) and what is a good flexible coating?
I'm going to check to ensure the tag isn't damaged yet before I do anything but if I cannot achieve a read distance through my phone case and my skin I will likely not proceed any further.
