Do not recall it in spec. so I do not think it has RFID protections:

Is this legit worth $24? ...or is it just magpul hype?

Yes. I rarely write reviews for things, because most products these days don’t deserve the time for a review. This product is different. I carry this wallet everyday. Occasionally I’ll carry a metal money clip along with this wallet if I plan to carry more cash than usual, but day to day I have probably 5-10 bills, and 8 -10 cards. No rips or tears in the clear panel, which I figured would be the weak spot and first to go. This thing is tough. I’m rough on things because I work hard, get dirty, come home filthy, and It’s easy to pull the cards out, rinse with soap and water and dry with a towel and your back in action. I give this wallet 5 stars. I would also highly recommend any magpul phone case. They are also top notch and deserve the same review. It’s worth every penny.

Have rfid protection?

No RFID protection, but still a nice quality usable minimalist wallet.

Hey, 5 years on is this thing still not rfid protected?

This is more of a card case than actual wallet. I like it because it is well made and use it primarily for outdoors: camping, fishing trips instead of taking expensive, stylish leather to the rugged wild. Think. taking few CC's, I.D's and insurance card on a canoe trip.
