Review on Secure your Cards with our RFID Wallet: Genuine Leather Bifold by Ryan Rea

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Confident wallets, card holders and money organizers

Better than I expected. First, it has almost exactly the same design as my old non-RFID wallet (Levenger "Bomber Jacket Slim”). It is exactly the same length and 3/16 inch (about 5mm) larger. I like this design so I went for it. The slight difference in size is imperceptible in my pocket. It's almost the same thickness - maybe a millimeter or so thicker. Not noticeable here either. The leather is not quite the quality, but very good - soft and supple. But it has this leathery smell, similar to what you get when you walk into the Burlington Coat Factory. If it smells, it's not quality leather. But I wasn't expecting Hermes for $25, I was expecting RFID protection :-) so I didn't deduct a star. My old Levenger wallet is currently $69 and if this one was for the same price I would deduct a star. Regardless, the leather of this wallet has a nice look and feel that rivals many other expensive wallets, and the smell will dissipate when aired. I'm not at all ashamed to be seen with it :-) It doesn't look cheap at all, it's just something worth mentioning as it might not last as many years as my old one. If you buckle and massage it, yes, there's a slight rustle - it's still foil-lined. I wonder if other silent wallets have enough barrier film? I only hear it in a quiet room, although I can't hear it in a shop or restaurant. Everyone and their monkey seem to be jumping on the RFID security bandwagon, but this company is the only one I can find that has been in business. for over a year or two (in this case over 10 years) and actually has a website with an owner who creates informative videos and articles to showcase products. I don't have the equipment to test these things so I need to be sure the company is making them. So overall I think this is a good buy. I uploaded pictures of my old wallet, this one and both are empty.

Pros
  • Double closure
Cons
  • Expensive
