Travel Accessories Samsonite Leather Passport
The wallet is well stitched, made of high quality leather, and arrived unblemished in any way. It is as it is named - slim. There are three card pockets on left, three more on the right, a bill area, and a space behind each set of 3 pockets (between the pockets and the bill area. There are no additional "frills" (frills for me anyway) that would make the wallet wider.
The card pockets hold six (6) plastic cards securely. I keep my most used cards in the two slightly cut away bottom pockets, where they are a breeze to remove and replace. The two top pockets are almost as easy to use, and the two middle pockets are acceptable. None of the pockets is overly tight, loose, or hard to use, at least not for the plastic cards that I keep in them. I keep two more rarely used plastic cards and a few (thin) paper cards in the two additional compartments.
The room for bills is adequate but not ample. At times, the wallet had held a fair number of small bills, and I have not had the problem that one reviewer reported. It was still easy to find the denomination I needed or insert bills completely. Occasionally, it is awkward to insert a bill in the middle, and I sometimes put bills in at the end and sort by denomination in private later.
All things considered, this wallet is a durable, well constructed, and stylish product, and it is as minimal as my life style permits.
came on time, didnt really like how it came in the packaging. it was dirty and torn. the passport holder came in a plastic wrap so it wwas protected. other than that it looks great.
BalasHapusI just received this today and it is totally way beyond my expectation of what I thought this was going to be. It is a very soft black leather, high quality and so professional looking. The word 'passport' is embossed on the top cover and 'samsonite' is also embossed on the bottom but very small. In the inside on the right side is a flap where one side of your passport slides in, you can also slip in a driver's license or something small of that nature. Samsonite definitely prove its reputation for quality and craftmanship. You gotta get one!
BalasHapusThis passport wallet is very nice quality, and seems to be well made. My passport (about 4 years old) has a thinner cover, and flexes easily to fit into this holder. However, I just received my child's passport recently, which has the new RFID technology. Because of the computer chip in it, the covers are much thicker and not flexible at all. You can put either the left or right side of the passport into the wallet, but not both sides. So, the wallet still works, but isn't quite as secure as it would be if you could fit both sides of the passport into it.
BalasHapusI am a little disappointed that this passport wallet does not have credit card slots like my older Samsonite passport case did. I should have read the description more carefully before purchasing it.
This is a great item, I received in an extremely timely manner.
BalasHapusI purchased 2 passport covers for my husband and I as we were going on a cruise. The covers fit like a glove, a great purchase.

Exactly what I was looking for in a thin tight lightweight passport holder without any frills or extras. Nice quality soft leather with minimum bulk for your pocket, purse, briefcase, or backpack. Excellent!
BalasHapusThis case is made of a great feeling leather. I loved it when I first got it. It has stood up well over time, and throughout my trip, it did well. easy to take the passport in and out of and it felt great. I received a few compliments by passport agents during our multiple stops.
BalasHapusIt fits snug and perfectly.
The genuine leather case is a snug fit at first, but over time, the rich leather stretches to wrap itself well around standard sized passport. Sleek and elegant, yet durable, the case performs admirably when protecting travel documents from common travel hazards such as shoving in a jeans back pocket, spilling a beverage rushing to the gate and running over with suitcase wheels (all of which I have done). Eventually, I had to buy more due to popular demand by co-workers.
BalasHapusAfter buying 3 other passport covers - one too large, one too stiff, one cheap material...I've finally found the perfect cover (I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to accessories - look and feel are important to me)
BalasHapusThis cover fits perfectly snug around my US Passport! It's made of a nice, feel-good leather, and I'm not sure about everyone else, but I like the fact that it doesn't have slots for credit cards and other forms of ID (I don't think it's a good idea to use your passport cover as a wallet)
Bottom line...if you're looking for a nice leather passport cover and don't want to spend $40-50, the Samsonite cover is great!
