I've got a Bellroy Note Sleeve which I use solely when travelling (have a work wallet which I use when at home). It's excellent quality, looks good and takes all sizes of currency notes that I've tried (which not all will). I'd happily recommend it. I think the latest version has RFID protection too.

I have a Finn wallet from SFbags.com that I have been using for a couple years and think it’s great. Mine doesn’t have an outside pocket but I believe some models of it do. I use it as a front pocket wallet. They make several sizes and mine is one of the smaller ones. The largest will take an iPhone X in addition to the other stuff.

I think the Magpul DAKA™ Everyday Wallet works (except no RFID).
I've had this one since late '16. Has an ID window that would probably work for RFID hotel keys, or one of the regular card slots works too.

Yeah, I agree. I used to carry a wallet with a clear ID pocket and almost everyone made me take my license out anyway.

I don't think I've ever even tried to use an ID without removing it from the slot. It's convenient for at-a-glance "yes I have my ID" check, and sometimes for RFID door keys or transit passes.

I have the Nero wallet ultra slim minimalist with rfid protection
I've had it for a while and the quality is great. In day to day use it holds about 9 cards and some bills Between my credit and bank cards, ID drivers license and membership cards, key access cards and so on.
It can easily hold more.
Mines been in near constant use since February 2016 and it's showing nearly no wear at all.
It comes with a rfid protected pocke, all rfid protected pockets and a version with all but one pocket rfid protected leaving a rfid accessible pocket for train card access or other rfid key card access

Since it’s for everyday use, you might consider spending a bit more for a high quality item.

When walking in areas known for pickpockets, I have this wallet attached to a loop sewed inside my pants' front pocket. Far more preferable than a hidden wallet under the pants. A couple of cards, bills, coins, hotel keys, camera battery can all be in one place. A bit bulky.
