I just recently got my flipper - was buying some long range nfc stuff, and noticed they had that in stock, so decided it is cheap enough to just get it and figure out later what it is about.
I’m very pleasantly surprised - sturdy hardware, well polished software, and very good documentation. It is just a great thing to always have in your pocket - digital companion to the swiss army knife I always carry.
I have a lot of more powerful specialized equipment - which pretty much everything in the article is. But most of that isn’t really suitable enough to always have it with me - not versatile enough, or limited options without attached computer. flipper is great to just have a look around - and to know what to bring next time, if there’s something interesting to investigate further.
Mostly NFC. Flipper standalone is more versatile than a proxmark3 I used to carry. Also seems the NFC reader is more reliable - you still can do more, and generally have better control via the proxmark when connected to a phone, but for just investigating the flipper is better. And as bonus supports a bunch of other stuff that might be interesting to look into.

That sounds cool - these devices are something I’m unfamiliar with. What is your use case for it being an EDC/in your pocket?
