I was skeptical at first, but it really works! May 17, 2009

Quick review -
The Travelon passport case really does keep your RFID passport safe. It has plenty of room for credit cards, train tickets and admission tickets. The current (2009) Japan Rail Pass also slides easily into the pocket alongside your passport. The ballistic nylon material with (faux?) leather accent is low key, and won't draw the attention that a home made aluminum foil envelope or Prada wallet would. Perfect for any traveler with an RFID passport who doesn't want their identity stolen.
Details -
RFID passports have a serious defect - they can be read and possibly altered remotely. While this is difficult and expensive to do with today's technology, it can easily be done by people with sufficient motivation. In five year's time it will only be easier.
The correct way to defend against radio manipulation of your passport is with a Faraday Cage. An ideal Faraday cage completely encloses the object you want to protect, leaving no gaps.
I was concerned that this wallet would only pancake the RF read zone of my passport. When I arrived at NRT in Tokyo, the passport control officer was completely unable to read my passport without taking it completely out of my Travelon case. Future RFID sensors may still be able to snoop a passport in this case, but I'll be comfortable keeping my passport safely stored in its travelon case for the next few years.
Look up Bruce Schneier's blog for a deeper technical analysis on the pros and cons of the new RFID passports.

This passport case is simple and discreet. Don't carelessly reveal your nationality to strangers when traveling internationally. Added feature blocks unauthorized access to any passport or credit card with an RFID chip.
Passport slips securely inside case and allows immigration authorities to view or scan document without requiring the document to be removed. Room for several credit cards or business cards.

I think this is a good product to have now that our passports contain this new electronic chip inside. The only negative thing to say is that if you walk through the metal detector with this in your hand it will go off. Just put it on the x-ray belt and you'll be good to go.
A little bulky - good quality April 14, 2010

Doesn't fit into my under-clothes security "money belt". Not much room for anything except the passport to keep it protected, but that's what it's for. Good quality construction.
