There are many of these, and I think most are fairly similar.

I use an older version of this:

The manufacturer has jazzed it up a bit since I bought mine. I like the little drivers license holder (mine doesn't have that). And mine is not RFID protected. So those are nice new features that they have added.

A few comments:
1. In a warm climate, I find that I do sweat against the back side of the neck wallet (touching my chest). Since I like to carry our passports inside the neck wallet, I put both passports inside a small plastic baggie so that they will stay dry.
2. I don't carry a phone in the neck wallet. But if I were to try, I'd probably use a plastic baggie for that also.
3. A thief could still come up behind you and slit the cord holding the wallet (and hopefully not slit my neck!!) and pull it off. So I use a small safety pin going through the cord and pin this to the inside of my shirt.
