I'm using the Apple MagSafe Wallet. One side (backside) of the MagSafe wallet is shielded against magnetism so the mag stripe on credit cards doesn't get de-activated, but I read shielding against magnetism also shields against RFID?

Apple's info on the MagSafe Wallet is unclear regarding RFID: "The leather wallet supports up to three cards and is shielded so it’s safe for credit cards."
