This wallet is amazing! I didn't notice the extreme smell that other customers are complaining about. It does have a mild treated leather smell, but it's not that overpowering from my perspective. It is genuine leather, but it's polished and treated. I think this is fairly obvious from the images provided on the Amazon page. The pictures are exactly accurate. It holds so much, but is still a very nice, slim size. All of my cards fit into this wallet and I still have two empty card sleeves. It will hold tons of cash, and my iphone fits perfectly as well. It's sturdy and well-made. The packaging it came in was exquisite. This is the wallet of my dreams and I plan to order backups of this same wallet, just in case, although I don't see this wallet wearing out any time soon. This is the only kind of wallet I ever see myself wanting to use for the rest of my life. No exaggeration. One last thing, I tested the RFID blocking, and it seems to work great. It didn't block the reading of my security badge at work, but I'm quite sure that the security monitor at work runs a different sort of signal than credit card scanners. This wallet did work great at the public transit station, and I know from long experience that the machines at the public transit station will read cards through almost anything. I usually keep my transit pass in a lanyard that is totally crammed with cards, receipts, notes, money, and all sorts of other odds and ends. The machines have no trouble reading through all of that, but when I placed my transit pass in this wallet, the machine didn't even register a blip of any kind. I do wish that it had an extra clip so that I could carry it like a purse, but that's the only draw back and the wrist strap makes for a great clutch. I only wish it had a shoulder strap option.
