Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Worth being straight about the RFID part: modern contactless cards generate a one-time cryptogram per transaction, so a skimmed read cannot be replayed, and documented losses from contactless skimming are very low against card-not-present fraud. The RFID layer does no harm. The more useful feature is that it is slim enough for a front pocket, which is a real countermeasure against the pickpocketing that does happen.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: RFID blocking addresses a largely theoretical risk on modern cards. No coin pocket. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Slim enough for a front pocket, a genuine pickpocketing countermeasure. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone wanting a slim front-pocket wallet in genuine leather. On that basis it has been the right call. Slim enough for a front pocket, a genuine pickpocketing countermeasure.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this a couple of weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Genuine cowhide that patinas rather than peeling. Still mildly irritated by one thing: RFID blocking addresses a largely theoretical risk on modern cards. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
