It’s a little bit tight to put more than a couple of things in it, and the leather is a bit stiff. Perhaps it will soften and stretch with use. But it’s much less expensive than some comparable products and it looks like it will do it’s job very well. I have my passport, global entry card, immunization record, and a couple of printed documents in it and I should still be able to get a couple of credit cards in.Great quality, well made. I use it as a wallet. It has just enough card slots, I’m very happy with my purchase. I hated my bulky wallet I could always feel it dig into me when I sat down. But with this, it slim and feels nice opening it ?The leather texture is great.I just got my passport holder wallet in expectation of my international travel picking up again for business when Covid is finally behind us. I went for the bifold - as opposed to the trifold - to keep it from getting too bulky. I selected the black option for a sleek, more polished look. The wallet is well made. The stitching is fine and even. All four corners have re-enforced, heavier stitching so I expect it to last me a while. As you can see in the picture, it comfortably holds my passport as well as my drivers license, two credit cards, and then still has one more slot for a health insurance card, business card or whatever - plus the pocket behind the cards where you can fit cash or a travel document such as a boarding pass etc. The passport will fit into the dedicated pocket on the right - either by just tucking in the back page only for quick and easy access as shown in the picture. Or you can put the whole passport into that pocket. The wallet still closes up just fine either way. You can't tell the RFID shielding is there but it's good to know you have this extra layer of protection. The only visible material besides the leather is a fine fabric material that's used as liner inside the pockets. Oh, and did I mention there is a nice faint real leather smell that is a nice reassurance of the quality material being used in this wallet. One suggestion I would have for Polare: It's a nice product, so why don't you brand it? A little stamp with your logo or brand name in the leather somewhere would not be out of place. Some people of course prefer it just the way it is: Subtle and understated with no hint as to the quality manufacturer that made it.OVERVIEW:I'm a big fan of the products Polare puts out. I have learned a lot about leather in the last year as I recently re-kindled my love for leather goods. I recently bought a Hugo Boss lambskin leather jacket and a couple of pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes. Though I'm not an expert on the leather tanning process, I think I have an eye for quality on a basic level. What I do know is this leather seems to be full-grain which contains pores just like our skin. What's great is, it will properly absorb leather conditioner as the leather will dry with age. Add some product to the leather to protect the passport wallet.INITIAL IMPRESSIONS:When I received the wallet, it was boxed nicely and wrapped in a cloth bag to protect it. My cards slid into the slots in the interior easily and am happy to report, I have noticed no retention issues. Keep in mind, leather can change shape when introduced to heat/cold or moisture because it is a natural material. The color of the wallet is beautiful and has a nice patina effect and texture. The stitching is very clean and uniform with no loose threads to be found. The attention to detail is excellent and should hold up with normal use for years to come.I plan to pair this wallet with my Polare duffle bag when I am traveling. Both are very very nice and a great value for the money!Pros:Quality of constructionPriceAppealCons:Unknown longevity as I recently purchased it.Quick Review:Awesome and worth every penny!As advertised. Perfect for one passport , vaccine card and credit cards for travel. I have only used for a couple of weeks. Seems durable so far.A friend of mine had bought another wallet from polare and after having seen it and liking the quality of it I ordered this passport wallet as I travel frequently. Here is my detailed reviewPackaging: The wallet comes covered in a white fabric pouch giving the packaging an elite appearance. The box also contains a polare original certificate that provides 1 year manufacturer warrantyAppearance and feel This particular wallet has a rustic beige to brown appearance. It looks very classy and gives feeling of an aged leather. It is smooth to touch yet entangles well with pant pocket fabric giving it a firm grip in the pocket. The stiches are high quality and adds to the beauty of the wallet. The wallet has 5 ID/card sleeves , a sleeve for cash and two back end sleeve. . All the cards fits snuggly and yet can be removed with ease . I am not sure if the wallet was intended for one passport or two but in my case I have comfortably inserted one passport on each side of the wallet. With all pockets full including two passport , it still folds nicely and fits well in the pocket. Overall it’s a great buy for the money. I highly recommend this passport wallet from polareAs summertime approaches, I've decided to do some travelling. I was in need of a wallet that could accommodate all my usual contents, plus my passport. I've been so pleased with the Polare products that I've tried and decided to check out their Slim RFID Blocking leather passport travel bi-fold wallet. I ordered the brown leather version as it will make a great match with the Polare brown leather weekend duffle bag Was looking for something made with high quality leather that had that 'premium handmade' feel to it, that I will hopefully use for years to come. The passport sits securely in it's slot, but should be easy enough to get out for boarding and customs.If you're looking for a passport wallet that's slim, stylish, and functional, look no further.Highly recommendedUpdate: Polare reached out to me and provided a replacement for this passport wallet. I was surprised that Polare went out of their way to offer a replacement. I really appreciate companies that look after their customers. Thank you Polare!Edit: I used the passport wallet for my first international trip this year, and noticed that the inside of the pocket had ripped at the seam. I am quite disappointed as I didn't overfill the wallet and only used 2 cards. The leather is still gorgeous, but the inner polyester material is not! I took 2 stars off of my original review. I also added pictures of the damaged pocket.The Polare Men's Slim RFID Blocking Leather Passport Holder Bifold Wallet is perfect for travel where credit card requirements are minimal and the passport is necessary. In the photos, you can tell that the leather is matte and not glossy like fake leather materials can be. This is a simple, humble wallet for the worldly globtrotter. You can feel the difference from fake leather at the first touch.The quality of the stitching in muted-orange and amber-yellow pops against the deep, dark brown of the leather. Also, there is space for 4 cards of regular thickness, your passport (of course), folded bills/notes, and small papers/receipts. So, what are you waiting for? Take this beautiful travel companion around the world!This is my 4th product from Polare and my 2nd wallet from them. I will be traveling overseas and wanted a wallet that can hold my passport so this was perfect for my needs! The leather and craftsmanship as always, is excellent and it truly looks like it was made from an Italian luxury brand!!I bought one for my Dad then, showed my husband and be loved it so I bought him one! They both love it. Polare is a great product. We have many Polare leather goods and will continue to make purchases. I bought my husband a duffel bag, and myself a tolietry bag years ago and both have been upstanding in quality and level of quantity. You won’t be disappointed
