Yes, an NFC tag can generally be scanned through rubber.
NFC (Near Field Communication) technology operates using electromagnetic induction, which can penetrate non-metallic materials like rubber. However, the effectiveness of scanning through rubber depends on the thickness and composition of the rubber, as well as the strength of the NFC signal and the sensitivity of the NFC reader.
In most practical applications, such as phone cases or rubber covers, NFC tags should work without issue. If the rubber is particularly thick or contains metal elements, it might interfere with the signal, reducing the effectiveness of the scan.
