Passed to a desk agent, laid on a counter, pushed under a screen. Coated leather shows every one of those contacts as a scratch. Full grain absorbs them and darkens instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo honest limits. Neither of these is waterproof, and a passport is the one thing you do not want damp, so a sealed bag is still the right answer for a boat or a monsoon. And leather is not RFID shielded unless a product page says so; if that matters to you, check the individual listing rather than assuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a trip, empty the wallet rather than leaving old boarding passes and receipts compressed inside it for months, which sets creases.

A US passport measures 5\" x 3.5\" (12.5 x 8.8 cm) and Travel is 5.9\" x 4.1\" (15 x 10.5 cm), so two books sit in the sleeve without forcing. A boarding pass goes in alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between Travel, Afife and Nord?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosure and card capacity. Travel takes 2 passports with no closure and 3 to 4 cards, in two colors. Afife takes 2 passports with a magnetic flap and up to 6 cards. Nord takes 1 passport with 8 to 10 cards and two cash compartments. Same job, three answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIt has no snap. Will things fall out?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot in normal use: the sleeves are cut snug and the passport itself holds the wallet shut. It is an open bifold by design, so it opens in one motion. If you would prefer a wallet that closes, Afife has a magnetic flap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow many cards does it hold?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree to four, across two slots. Travel is a document wallet rather than an everyday one, so the card capacity is deliberately small. If you want a passport wallet that carries a full set of cards, Nord takes 8 to 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it block RFID?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not make that claim. Travel is plain leather with no RFID-blocking layer, and we would rather say so than imply protection the wallet does not provide. If RFID shielding matters to you, buy a wallet that specifies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I have my name embossed on it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is free. You give the name when you place the order and it is pressed into the leather rather than printed on top, so it ages with the surface.
