There are times when it's worth spending a lot on something that looks cheap!
A good functional passport wallet/card holder and one that is (apparently) RFID-secure. It has a couple of useful added features with internal and external zipped pockets and a pen loop; the passport sleeve is just the right size. It is, however, very expensive for what is: essentially just a small canvas wallet that looks and feels cheap. I bought another Pacsafe passport wallet here which has since been discontinued but which was made of much more formidable and aesthetically pleasing material. It seems Pacsafe are not investing in that quality any more. Having said that, it is indeed 'compact' and the black version is very unassuming so it is readily pocketable as well as discreet which is indeed safe!
