I've always found it weird how so many AirTag wallets and phone cases show the AirTag in plain view like this. Wouldn't you want it hidden, so if someone dishonest finds the tagged item, or someone steals it, they won't just immediately discard the tag?
That's why I have my wallet AirTag inside of a little slit inside of a pad, in the pads wrapping, in a zipped compartment of another zipped compartment of the wallet. A thief could probably still find it if Apple alerts them that they're being tracked, but I'm assuming that takes a while, so least it'd give me a better chance of recovering my property instead of a bare AirTag in the middle of the road.

I think there are a couple things going on. The RFID blocking probably moderately interferes with the airtag functionality if it is fully encased.
And I don't think the primary goal of most people is getting back a stolen wallet with the airtag, but rather find a lost or misplaced one.
Which is what I assume is going on with this style of wallet.
