Great wallet, second one I have bought. It has lasted since 2013 11 years! Would buy again.

I bought a Travelon RFID Blocking Tri-Fold Wallet from this Amazon page in April 2014, which was a reasonably attractive, good quality leather wallet with the shielding, and which has lasted me all the years since in daily use.The new wallet just received is not the same product, although from the same product page. The new wallet is neither very attractive, nor leather, nor particularly good quality -- nor does it match the current product photographs at the top of the Amazon page which show the old leather wallet. The wallet is now made from polyester fabric, more flimsily sewn I think, with only a narrow ornamental leather strip along the outside bottom edge, in order to still be able to say "leather." It really doesn't look to me like the seams will last more than a few months at the wear points.I notice other reviewers have had the same or similar experience with a second purchase of this wallet after a number of years.My seven-year-old leather Travelon wallet has only had the leading edge of one credit card pocket recently fray, so I think I'll keep using that one.

I had one of these for about 4 years. Like others have said the card slots are a little small, and those finally ripped out. It held up well otherwise, so I got another. The second one ripped the very first time I tried to put a credit card into one of the slots. Good thing there's a clear window for the driver's license, because once it's in there getting it out can be a real ordeal. On the plus side, I got one of the little RFID chips we implant in animals, folded it into the center of the wallet, then tried to scan it with the reader right up against the wallet. No go. Could not read it. So that feature works great. The card slots just need to be a squige larger.

This is very deceiving,The wallet is too small to fit the credit card in the designated slots. They don't slide in all the way and when inserted, they cannot be taken out. (Visa, Amex, Master Card)I am very disappointed, I have wasted my money on this product

I dunno what the other reviewer was complaining about. My Ontario license and health card and bank and credit cards fit perfectly in the slots. The only reason I subtracted a star was because it won't fit a standard business card in the slots. Then again not a dealbreaker because the business cards fit with room to spare inside the actual money compartment.I haven't tested the RFID blocking yet but I will try that out later this week at Tim Horton's.It seems to be very well constructed.All in all, I'd have to say I recommend it without reservation.

I'm a tri-fold man and I like my credit card slots facing inward so this doesn't leave many choices, particularly with a RFID security wallet. I can confirm that RFID blocking completely works. I have to card into work every day and I must open a fold of the wallet to do it. It's an easy motion, just slip it out of my pocket and flip it open with my index finger and hold it up to the reader. I purchased this wallet after my credit card company sent me a new card that had a RFID chip embedded in the card. I didn't ask for a card with a chip and was concerned that someone could steal my card information. This wallet is piece of mind. My only complaints are that I'd like to have a divider where my bills go and it would be nice if the card slots were not quite as tight. The inward facing slots make overly tight slots unnecessary. It's not so much of a problem that I haven't continued to use it for over a year now and it's holding up great.

I was hesitant to purchase this product for 2 reasons. First, I don't normally purchase this type of accessories online. Second, I can't touch and feel the product. But there's always a first time. I looked at the pictures online, trying to make sense of what I see. I liked what I saw on the picture and I ordered the product. The product is exactly what I thought it to be. Very light and yet durable. I was glad I decided to purchase this product online as the experience was smooth and trouble free. But I digress, I am happy with the quality of the product. The dimensions are just perfect for its use. I definitely recommend this product.

Pros:Looks nice.Finish and quality is good.Cons:Credit cards fit very snugly in the pockets making it more difficult than it should be to slide them in and out of the wallet.The card pockets aren't designed very well and are deeper than the width of a card, so the card slides in out of sight.The size is generally too small for my liking overall.At full capacity, there is pressure on your cards when placed in the back trouser pocket.Overall:Fine for traveling when RFID blocking is very useful. For your daily runs to work and grocery shopping, you'll find this a bit too cramped.

I purchased this RFID wallet for my husband. He occasionally has to travel on business and has been concerned about the security of his credit cards. There are quite a few types of RFID wallets on the market now. This, however, is the only trifold one I was able to locate. What my husband especially likes is that there's a see-through compartment for his driver's license. That saves time since he doesn't have to dig it out. It also has several compartments for credit cards, and a long section for bills. Most RFID wallets I looked at had very little space for credit cards. This one seems to provide more than most, yet it folds up very compactly.As to construction, it appears quite sturdy and attractive. Like other RFID products, the texture is smooth and light. Because it's a little smaller overall than a regular trifold wallet, my husband does not use it as his everyday wallet. However, he has used it for travel and has said that he really likes it.

This wallet lives up to what it says. It seems to block RFID quite well, even better than I expected, and better yet the real leather makes it look just like any other wallet. It doesn't hold much, but that isn't much of a problem for me. There are six slots for cards, then one clear slot for an ID or anything else that you could find to put there, not to mention the bill slot. If you're looking for a nice clean wallet that protects from RFID hackers, then this is the way to go.**EDIT**I recently lost my wallet, retraced my steps, and realized where it was. It had fallen out of my lap when I got out of my truck at home. So, when I left, and came back to the house I had actually ran over it twice before I noticed where it was, because I back in and don't see much of the ground. The wallet is in perfect shape. I drive a mid size truck with 33" off road tires, just to give an idea of what the wallet went through.

I purchased this wallet because I have been reading a lot about rfid scanners and increased identity theft, so I wanted to protect myself. I can't speak to it's effectiveness in blocking rfid scans, so I'm going to guess that it works as described. It's major downfall, though, is that it's too tight to try to fit anything in. I carry very few cards, probably 8 or 9 on any given day, and very little cash, no more than 10-12 bills at any given time, and with these things alone the wallet is so overfull that it does not close correctly, and I'm worried that it's going to start tearing at any minute. That doesn't count the 2 spare keys I've always kept in my wallet, or the days when my roommates give me cash for bills and rent to take to the bank. The large slot that is designed for cash does not have a divider, which isn't a dealbreaker but it's annoying, and the clear slot in the middle that someone may put a photo or somesuch in is too small to even attempt to put something the size of a credit card in. It seems more like a child's wallet more than anything. If this wallet were designed with the end user in mind, it would be vastly improved, but since it is too small and tight to be comfortably useful, making a different choice would be the way to go.
