How do I find the “Security ID” or “card validation code” for my Credit card?
The card validation code is generally on the back side of your card. Look for a 3 or 4 digit number in a box. If your card only has a long number on the back, it is the last 3 or 4 digits of this number.
With American Express cards, the validation code is on the front side. It is a 4-digit number printed above the embossed card number.
If you can’t find your card validation code, just let us know and we will help you.

How are SOLID GRAY's products made?
SOLID GRAY products are cut from a single sheet of high-tech polymer, an extremely durable and hard-wearing material. Up to now, such sheets were only used for industrial purposes.

These are the very first consumer products cut and made from such sheets.
