Quite a bit simpler than having the whole wallet made of medal. http://www.difrwear.com/products.shtml (has video demos) Though those aluminum card cases are pretty good too and help prevent card bending over time. dirfwear makes wallets using the faraday’s cage concept, so has RF blocking layer sewn in but is otherwise a regular leather type wallet.

I used to own a stainless steel wallet because of its novelty but it did break after just ~3 months of use to me. The folding part and one of the corners were actually tearing apart. I also had some trouble putting some cards in it. But I can't recall if it's the same brand... While it may not have stains, it shown quite a lot of "metal wrinkles" after some use (and with the shadow/lighting and its greyi-sh colour -- it just looked like stains to me). In the end I went back to leather wallet but I do miss the thinness of it. Like Bryan has said, it is not very durable.

They actually have a redesign where the fold is not metal. Sharp looking wallet though. I am a wallet pack-rat, so it won't work for me, sadly.
