Patent ID: 8033473

Claim:
A portable consumer device comprising: a substrate having an information bearing region, pertaining to a payment processing system, located on at least one of a first planar surface and a second, opposite planar surface of the substrate; a cover including a front planar body and a back planar body each rotatably coupled to the substrate, the front planar body dimensioned to conceal the first planar surface; and a breakable anti-tampering member coupling the front planar body to the back planar body, the anti-tampering member being located within a hinge which rotatably couples each of the front planar body and the back planar body to the substrate, wherein: when the anti-tampering member is unbroken, the anti-tampering member prevents rotation of the cover; and when the anti-tampering member is broken, the cover is selectively rotatable about the substrate to allow or disallow access to the information bearing region.
