Works pretty well June 22, 2010

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.

the back page of a US passport has a number and barcode that is typically scanned as you check in or pass through... and that is the page that this case requires that you tuck in behind the solid leather part of the wallet.
thus it is impossible to simply leave your passport in this case when you need to use it - you have to pull it out and hand it to the man
a little thought could have created a case that the passport could stay in... something that tucked the front into a full size holder and left the rest of the pages, including the back page, hanging free. Of course you probably couldn't have the credit card holders in such a case... as the man wouldn't want to accept them as he did his searching and scanning - but it could have been a nice and protective case even without the credit card sleeves.
as it is, it does protect - and hold some credit cards (although not many) - but is awkward to put passport in and out when using it....
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.
