Review on 🌍 Optimized Big Skinny Traveler Wallet for Passports by Brenda Martinez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Close, but not quite.

The design of this product is really misleading compared to the product description. The Passport Travel Wallet has 3 colors listed in this description (black, blue and red) but there are 2 completely different designs in between (blue and black vs red). I didn't pay attention at first, but when you click on the different colors you can see that the pictures actually show different designs. Blue and Black have a much larger coin/zip pocket on the outside back of the wallet; red is half the size in front inside. Red also has two full-height internal pockets to hold passports versus one internal pocket of the other. I wish there was a mix of the two designs as I like the red double inner pocket but the blue/black outer zip pocket. Why? Since I have dual citizenship, the only way to get two passports that match the blue and black design, for example, is to put one in the left inner sleeve and the other in the inner right money slot. This means that a passport is fully enclosed and protected on all but one side. The other is easier to get at the airport, let's say at customs, but it's also not as secure. I did a test by holding the wallet upside down and shaking it vigorously and luckily nothing fell out. A coin pocket on the outside is good to avoid bending cards/passports. Also, I don't know why I need so many card slots. Even abroad, where I need my passport as ID to get into a club or somewhere else, I try to have as few cards/cash on me as possible, just to be on the safe side. Compared to my previous Skymall Passport Wallet, it is significantly lighter, thinner and more practical. I may update this review when I have more time to comment on durability. 1 star deduction for the fact that none of the designs make sense, another star for that an international driver's license doesn't fit here. Otherwise the color is nice. Revain - Split it into two separate product designs and sort reviews by style.
