5.0 out of 5 stars Saves me from demagnatizing my hotel key, October 14, 2009

OK so maybe demagnatizing isn't a word. But it is a problem. I have an IPhone that likes to kill every hotel key I'm issued and I am constantly stopping at the front desk to have my key refreshed - or if I forget, going up to my room only to realize its happened again and back I go to the front desk. This Wallet kills 2 birds with one stone. I can put the passport into the wallet in an open position so I don't have to remove it from the Wallet at customs or security, saving time as we all race to juggle our ID's and take off our shoes. And then I slip my new hotel key into the wallet and it does indeed keep it fresh as well as provide a secure place so I always know where I stashed the room key - I even keep the key folder here so I can remember what room I am in today. Also a bit more stylish - I have the wine cover and it is easy to find in my dark purse or briefcase interiors.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit tight for space, October 8, 2009

The case is very tightly made, there is virtually no room for anything beyond the minimum of a passport and two or three credit cards, before it starts looking bulky but it works well (I think). I had forgotten about the fact that you need to put this case in your carry-on luggage and through the x-ray machine so the body scanner kept going off as I walked through it with the case in my hand. The security agent didn't know about it either because even after I had removed literally everything metal there was still beeping. Only after I put it in my bag did the machine clear me. The agent still didn't realize what could have caused the machine to react to my passport case, but by then I vaguely remembered reading an Amazon review mentioning it... The case looks nice and feels like a decent quality, nothing special, yet worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it works., June 10, 2011

First, after reading a few reviews and the product description I honestly wasn't convinced it actually provided RFID blocking, so I went and tested it by putting an RFID card in it, closing it, and trying to get an RFID reader to read it. No dice, so in this reviewer's experience, it works as advertised.

Beyond that, it is almost the same size as a passport. The good news is that it isn't bulky in your pocket and isn't much bigger than if you just had your passport alone (as far as width and height). The downside is that putting a passport or credit card into the wallet is a tight fit. Your passport has to be completely tucked in for the wallet to close. And it is a bit rigid, making it feel bigger in your pocket than a comparable soft wallet.

For the card slots, the leather may relax a bit over time, but I have found that more than 3 to 4 credit cards (or ID cards, license, etc.) isn't very practical with this wallet. Inserting and removing cards is challenging. And the card slot furthest from the edge is slightly deeper and allows your credit card or driver's license to completely vanish under the leather, making its retrieval something you'll wish you had tools for.

If your wallet is, as my previous one was, a repository for all things you might need from passport to credit cards to business cards to place to store receipts after dinner, you'll either want to skip this one or reconsider if having more than three kinds of Visa cards on you at all times is really necessary. But for carrying a passport and a couple of basic items and blocking RFID from reaching those things, this gets the job done nicely.
